Robert Lewandowski has been criticised by Bayern Munich chief Oliver Kahn after he publicly announced his desire to leave the German champions.
Bayern have been desperate to keep hold of the striker for another year when his contract will expire amid strong interest from Barcelona. The Catalan club have made the Poland international their top target going into the summer.
There have been strong rumours that Lewandowski was ready to call time on his Bavarian career and he has now explicitly come out and revealed his intentions. “My story with Bayern has come to an end, I cannot imagine further good cooperation,” he said. “I hope they will not stop me (from leaving) just because they can. A transfer is the best solution for everyone.”
