We will keep our promises, now it&#8217;s up to the clubs to create clarity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In this past January transfer window, Lewandowski was repeatedly linked with G\u00f6tze&#8217;s new home Bayern Munich &#8211; though giants beyond the Bundesliga&#8217;s borders like Manchester United have hinted at interest in the past as well.<\/p>\n<p>Realistically, if Lewandowski is keen to leave as his agent has said in the past, Dortmund can only cash in on their star striker this summer. By next season&#8217;s winter transfer window, Lewandowski&#8217;s contractual status would have reached a point where any club could negotiate a deal for a free transfer the following summer. At this stage, a club is rightly considered a &#8220;motivated seller,&#8221; and a move comparable to Lewis Holtby&#8217;s bargain basement switch from Schalke to Tottenham this January becomes the most likely scenario.<\/p>\n<p>owever, the German champions have denied claims that Lewandowski has signed a pre-contract agreement.<\/p>\n<p>A Bayern statement read: &#8220;FC Bayern, contrary to these reports, do not have any contract with Robert Lewandowski.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bayern&#8217;s denial has increased speculation that the 24-year is heading to Old Trafford after the Red Devils have been repeatedly linked with a move.<\/p>\n<p>Dortmund insist they have not received an offer for the Poland international and have put a new deal to the 24-year-old following his virtuoso display on Wednesday, in which he scored four times as Jurgen Klopp&#8217;s men thrashed Real Madrid 4-1.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It would be negligent of us not to try to keep probably the best striker in Europe,&#8221; general manager Hans-Joachim Watzke told the Bild newspaper.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s true that we have discussed new conditions once again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<!-- Error, Advert is not available at this time due to schedule\/geolocation restrictions! -->\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester United push for transfer  Borussia Dortmund&#8217;s super Polish striker Robert Lewandowski, Byern Munich confirmed Real Madrid destroyer not in Allianz Arena way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":702,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,80,63,135,1,118,127,14],"tags":[50467,33121,50459,50466,2225,24105,6757,50468,24617,24618,50464,50465],"class_list":["post-37060","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-europe","category-breaking-news","category-daily","category-football","category-general","category-hot","category-sport","category-world","tag-borussia-dortmund-lewandowski-transfer","tag-epl","tag-epl-transfer-united","tag-lewandowski-become-van-persie-partner","tag-manchester-united","tag-manchester-united-transfer","tag-poland","tag-polish-striker-lewandowski","tag-robert-lewandowski","tag-robert-lewandowski-transfer","tag-van-persie-lewandoswski","tag-van-persie-lewandowski-partner"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37060","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/702"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37060"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37060\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":78897,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37060\/revisions\/78897"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37060"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37060"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37060"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
