It is so nice to be wanted.
And when you are in hot demand, then you can say “feck off” to whomever you please.
And that appears exactly what Robert Lewandowski is about to do this summer ,as it looks like the Poland striker will reject possible moves to the Premier League until his dream switch away from Bayern Munich materialises in 2017.
The striker enjoyed his best year ever in 2015 and with Pep Guardiola leaving the German champions this summer, it was believed the former Dortmund frontman would also be heading for the exit door this summer.
Chelsea are the latest Premier League side linked with the 27-year-old, while Manchester United are also believed to have made informal inquiries about his availability.
However The Independent are suggesting this morning that Lewandowski’s heart is set on a move to Spain, and he is even willing to wait an entire year to secure the move.
Real Madrid are facing a transfer ban that is likely to keep them far away from the yellow ticker on the bottom of your Sky Sports Screens for the foreseeable future, after some alleged dodgy dealings involving underage players.
That would mean that the former Lech Poznan player would only be allowed sign for the La Liga outfit in the summer of 2017, which according to the newspaper, the striker is willing to hold on for.
If Real win an appeal against their proposed two-transfer window ban, then the club is likely to test Bayern’s resolve this summer with a bid in excess of €60million, but it seems more likely that he will spend at least another season in Germany before heading for sunny Spain.
