'He Will Stay With Us': Bayern Munich CEO Adamant That Robert Lewandowski Will Remain in Bavaria
Bayern Munich CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is adamant that star striker Robert Lewandowski will remain at the Allianz Arena beyond this season, according to Kicker.
The Poland international has been repeatedly linked with a move to Los Blancos in recent weeks after yet another fine season for Die Roten, scoring 38 goals in 43 appearances this campaign.
Despite persistent rumours touting a possible move to Madrid, Rummenigge has rubbished reports that Lewandowski will leave this summer, insisting that the 29-year-old will be staying in Bavaria.

He said: "He scored 38 goals this year as well and we are glad that he is with us and that he will play with us again next year."

After a close first leg that ultimately ended in defeat, the former Bayern forward is hoping that his side will have more luck at the Santiago Bernabeu, in what will be a difficult task to defeat the current holders of the competition in order to reach the final in Kiev at the end of May.
Rummenigge continued, stating: "If we want to get ahead, then this may be a good indication with work, courage, passion and a lot of fighting, and I hope we're luckier than last Wednesday, we did not deserve the defeat, but that does not help, we have to do better.
