Robert Lewandowski will not play for Real Madrid, despite reports linking him with a move to the Santiago Bernabeu.
Bayern Munich have confirmed the signing of the Polish striker. Lewandowski will join Pep Guardiola’s club in July, when his contract with Borussia Dortmund expires.
The forward has signed a five-year deal with the reigning Champions League holders, and he’ll become the second Borussia player to move to Munich in less than one year, after Mario Gotze’s transfer last summer.
Bayern Munich announced the deal in their official Twitter account: “Official: #FCBayern have signed Robert Lewandowski (25)! The striker has signed a 5-year contract until 2019.”
Thus, Real Madrid will have to look for another player if they want to reinforce the striker position next summer. Karim Benzema and Alvaro Morata are the only pure number 9s at the moment, and the youngster is expected to leave on loan next season in order to get more minutes of play.
Liverpool’s Luis Suarez and Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero seem like the most likely options, despite both having recently agreed a contract extension with their clubs.
