Borussia Dortmund striker Robert Lewandowski has poured cold water on talk he could exit the Ruhr giants.
The Polish goal-getter has been linked with a number of sides over the last six months and there have been suggestions he could be plying his trade elsewhere next season – Bayern Munich have been strongly mentioned.
But for Lewandowski, such thoughts could not be further from his mind as, instead of considering a future away from Dortmund, he is actively thinking of increasing his commitment to Jurgen Klopp’s men.
“I don’t want to hear talk like this”, said the striker to Kicker, adding: “There is no way that I could imagine leaving Dortmund.”
And Lewandowski, who has bagged an impressive 14 goals in 20 games so far, addressed recent reports of a switch to Bayern Munich head on.
“I play for the reigning Bundesliga champions – why would I move to Bayern?
"I’m under contract until June 2014.”
Indeed, when asked about his commitment, Lewandowski hinted at an even longer stay.
"First I need to have a sign from the club and then I could think about my situation.
“I wouldn’t rule it [a new deal] out.”
