Kloop has confirmed that lewandowski will join Munich in 2014.
Well that's another rumour put to bed
jred
'Confirm' is a little too strong word to say, when Summer transfer has just started and there is 1 year left to go.
RumourNo. 1
It may not be 100% yet RumourNo. 1, but it looks like he is very determined to join BM and I think BvB will accept a BM offer this summer.
Sydney!
Hey Syd, I got the impression that Klopp seemed to be be determined to keep him until end of the contract unless they find the right substitute for Lewandowski, simply because they need to be able to compete against BM next season.
RumourNo. 1
According to Raphael Honigstein BvB will stand firm and not sell him to BM this summer. But I think the real reason is down to BM not offering enough cash to get him this summer and them willing to wait until next summer to get him. I think BM will get him this summer and it will be for a cheap fee.
Sydney!
Its quite obvious that bvb just won't sell their two best players to munich in one summer window, its been no secret that lewy has had some sort of agreement with munich for months, bvb will not let him go this summer no matter what, they don't need the cash they have the largest average gate in europe.
Mick, I think £20m now is better than £0m in 12 months time. Can BvB be sure Lewandowski would play to the best of his ability if he remained at the club? BvB are not desperate for cash, but they are not flush with cash either. They may have 80,000 crowd, but season tickets are dirt cheap in Germany. I think they will agree a deal during this window, but that's just my opinion.
Sydney!
Sorry Sydney but I thit you underestimate German stubbornness. They are more likely to leave him languishing in reserves untill Jan when he will take a move anywhere, and sell him for 7-10m to England, Spain or Italy, rather than see him go to Bayern.
No name poster, Sydney has got it more or less right the situation with RL favours him, he has all the power considering the length of time left on his contract and how will BVB sell him to England when he plainly doesn't want to move here. BVB have 2 choices sell him to Bayern or let him leave for nothing in a year!

What I find a little odd is that it has been suggested that RL has signed an agreement with bayern. Surely that means he has been tapped up? You can negotiate with a player in the same league without the owning clubs consent. Why have Dortmund not reported bayern to uefa?
Had not seen this topic and posted on the banter page that all the dortmund posturing in my view is hot air. Before the close of the window he will be gone, they just spend 40 million on 2 strikers. I am also with Sydney on this, they want bayern to cough up a lot of dough and probably not getting it.
I think they will get that from other clubs but it looks like his agent has agreed to a deal and the player wants to move to Bayern.

Didn't realise I'd forgotten to put my name to that. My point was that if they don't give him any first team action, by January he may be willing to go somewhere other than Bayern just to get first team football, thus moving in January.
Well really my point was that my wife is German and I know a lot of her German friends, and I don't think most English people realize just how bloody stubborn they can be if you piss them off.

Also, Bayern will most likely strengthen up front this summer, especially with Gomez leaving, so they may well have lost interest by next summer. Dortmund will realize this, and will probably point it out to lewandoski to encourage him to accept another move.
