Lewandowski dismisses transfer rumours

Borussia Dortmund striker Robert Lewandowski said that he has no interest in transferring to Bayern Munich.

Reports circulated that the player’s representative had met with the Bavarian club to discuss a possible transfer but, although the 23-year-old was initially coy on the rumours, Lewandowski has now ruled out a move to the Allianz Arena.

“I play for the champions. Why should I move to Bayern?” he told Kicker.

Despite a slow start to life at Signal Iduna Park, Lewandowski has gone on to seal his place in the first team this season, scoring an impressive 14 goals.

The Poland international said that he never considered leaving the club due to Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp’s influence on his career.

“I’ve never thought about throwing it all away and leaving. The coach has built me up. He pointed out where my strengths lie and how to use them,” he said.

Lewandowski started in his side’s 2-0 victory over Nuremberg on Friday, a result that saw them open up a two-point gap over Bayern.
