Robert Lewandowski will stay at Bayern Munich and reject transfer to Man Utd or Arsenal, says chief Oliver Kahn
BAYERN MUNICH have insisted that Robert Lewandowski will stay at the club this summer.
The Polish striker, 33, has been linked with a move away from the German giants at the end of the season.
He only has a year left on his current contract and has so far failed to agree an extension.
Barcelona were believed to be leading the chase to sign Lewandowski – who has scored a staggering 45 goals in just 39 games in all competitions this season.
Both Manchester United and Arsenal have also been linked with a big-money move for the star.
And Atletico Madrid are also eyeing a swoop for the hitman.

However, ahead of Bayern’s shock Champions League exit at the hands of Villarreal, club chief Oliver Kahn insisted that Lewandowski would be going nowhere in the next transfer window.
And he also revealed that the forward has already started talks over a new contract.
Kahn told Amazon Prime: “We have a contract with Robert. We’ve always said that we’d start talks.
“We started doing that a long time ago.”

Kahn added: “He will stay with us. Robert knows what he has in Bayern.
“We know what we have in him.”
