Bayern Munich chief executive Oliver Kahn has said that he and the German champions are not prepared to lose striker Robert Lewandowski before his contract expires next summer.
The Polish striker’s deal is due to end in the summer of 2023 having spent the last eight seasons at Bayern, scoring a staggering 238 goals in 253 Bundesliga appearances for the side, who won a 10th consecutive league title earlier this year.
Lewandowski, 33, has already outlined his intentions not to extend his contract beyond next year at the Allianz Arena, despite a stellar spell that has so far seen him win the Golden Boot award in Germany’s top flight six times.
