Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke has explained that he wants to make it clear that Poland international Robert Lewandowski will play for the club in the upcoming season.
The future of the 24-year-old highly rated goal-poacher seems to be hanging in balance, and his personal desires do not seem to be working in tandem with the club’s.
Lewandowski has asked the club to allow him to make a switch to the side he wishes to join this summer – widely speculated to be Bayern Munich.
However, Watzke has insisted that the player will not be sold to their Der Klassiker rivals. And he has now explained that Lewandowski will not move to any club this summer.

“Robert certainly plays for Borussia Dortmund in the coming season. We have to make it clear, so we can plan for it”, Watzke told German daily Suddeutsche Zeitung.
Lewandowski has been linked with a host of other clubs, which also includes the likes of English Premier League giants Manchester United and Spanish giants Real Madrid.
He clocked up 58 appearances for the Ruhr giants, as well as his country, in the 2012/13 season, scoring 38 times and assisting 16 times.
His contract at Signal Iduna Park expires next summer.
