The Polish striker is yet to open negotiations with Bayern over a potential contract renewal.
Bayern Munich sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic has insisted the Bavarians have no intentions of parting ways with Robert Lewandowski.
The Ballon d’Or runner-up will see his current Bayern deal expire next summer. He has attracted interest from several clubs recently, with Barcelona being his main suitor.
Speaking in an interview with Sky90, Salihamidzic provided an update on Lewandowski’s contract situation.
He said: “We will have talks, then we will see how things develop. He has a contract until 2023, now we will talk about what happens after that.
“I’ve seen Lewa absolutely relaxed in the last few weeks. He’s an absolute professional. If he doesn’t score, he’s p*ssed off. That’s what makes him special, that’s why he’s so good. You have to manage him, but he also gives that back. I don’t see that the fronts have hardened.
“I have spoken to his agent. We made an appointment. We have all the time in the world. We’re happy and proud that he’s here. Now we’re waiting to see how the talks go. But that he has a contract for next year is clear.
“Lewandowski is held in the highest esteem. The fans love him. He’s our top earner at the club. You also have to allow FC Bayern to see how we’re performing and how much budget we have.
“I spoke to Lewa, of course you talk about everything. We will also talk to his agent, we have the best striker in the world and we are proud of that. We haven’t negotiated yet. But we’ll do it, yes.”
Lewandowski’s transfer saga is still far from being over, with Bayern entering negotiations with his agents in the coming weeks.
Joan Laporta recently claimed there is a good chance the 33-year-old would join Barca. Let’s see if Bayern would change their mind about selling their star striker after the upcoming meetings.
