Bayern Munich CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge on Saturday denied that their star striker Robert Lewandowski is set to move to Real Madrid next football season, adding that he would not be sold at any price.
The Polish forward has been a target for Real since his days at Borussia Dortmund and reportedly he has had a word with Real's management, his agent has revealed.
However, Rummenigge insisted the talismanic striker will be at Bayern for the next season.
"One thing I know for sure. Robert Lewandowski will play at Bayern Munich in the upcoming season. No one must make thoughts about that," Rummenigge was quoted as saying by German website Kicker.
"The decision is like: We will not give up Robert Lewandowski, no matter what they will offer to us. We have no breaking point at Robert."
The 27-year-old has netted 30 goals in 32 league matches for Bayern last season, and was a key figure for their fourth-straight Bundesliga crown.
