“Players who have performed well at this club for many years are outstanding,” he said.
“Robert became a world-class footballer with us. Robert is a player who has the potential to score 30 to 40 goals every year.
“Of course, at some point, players like this get the idea that ‘I’ve achieved everything here and won everything’. Then it takes time to convince him to stay here.”
Bayern legend Lothar Matthaus has criticised his old side’s handling of Lewandowski’s contract situation.

“But every team would like to have a Lewandowski in their ranks.
“In the last ten years he played 95 percent of all games.
