Striker Robert Lewandowski has told Bayern Munich he wants to leave, says sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic.
The Pole, 33, has scored 343 times in 373 games for Bayern – their second-highest scorer of all time behind Gerd Muller since arriving in 2014.
Lewandowski, whose contract runs until the summer of 2023, he has been heavily linked with a move away, including a switch to Barcelona.
However, Salihamidzic suggested the striker, also the second-highest goal scorer in Bundesliga history behind Muller and winner of the past two Fifa men’s player of the year awards, would not be allowed to leave.
Since joining from Borussia Dortmund, Lewandowski has won the league in all eight of his seasons at Bayern and also won the Champions League in 2019-20.
