Bayern Munich release Robert Lewandowski transfer statement amid Liverpool and Barcelona rumours

Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer has revealed Robert Lewandowski will not be allowed to leave the club this summer.

The 33-year-old has been with the German champions since 2014 and has scored 343 goals for the club in all competitions. However, he has been linked with a move away in recent months.

A recent report from Spain claimed that Lewandowski was a 'priority' for Reds boss Jurgen Klopp ahead of the summer window. While another recent report from Poland claimed that Lewandowski will complete a switch to Barcelona after discussions have been taking place.

Lewandowski has helped Bayern to eight Bundesliga titles in the last eight seasons, as well as three German cups. Oliver Kahn, Bayern's chief executive, told Amazon Prime last month that Lewandowski would not be leaving the Allianz Arena this summer.

He said: "We would be stupid to sell a player who scores 30 to 40 goals per season. We are and will be in talks about his future in the next weeks. He has a contract until June 2023 and we'll definitely have him with us for another season."

And now Hainer has repeated what former Germany international Khan said last month by claiming that Lewandowski will fulfil his Bayern deal that is set to expire in June 2023.

“Robert Lewandowski has a contract with Bayern until June 2023 - and he will fulfil it," he told Sports Buzzer.
