Borussia Dortmund striker Robert Lewandowski has played down his exit talks in a recent interview stating that he has to respect his contract with the Bundesliga champions.
The Pole has been one of the most keenly watched players in the Euros so far as plenty scouts from across Europe came to Poland to watch him play. Jose Mourinho was even spotted in the stands in Warsaw and is also believed to be a firm admirer of the player. The top suitors of the talented 23 year old have been Premier league duo Manchester United and Arsenal. Polish coach Franciszek Smuda was quoted by the Polish media saying that Lewandowski is en route to United, news that Dortmund vehemently rejected days later.
“My agent has been in demand,” Lewandowski told kicker-Sportmagazin.
“They asked him if he had a meeting with Mourinho because people have seen Mourinho in Warsaw.
“My agent then tried to make a joke, saying that Mourinho would sign me if I scored four times during Euro 2012.
“I do not care what my agent is doing. I am under contract with Borussia Dortmund.”
Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger has also been closely following the striker and with Robin Van Persie’s future still uncertain at the club, he is likely to compete with United for the signature of the striker. Dortmund have already lost their star playmaker Shinji Kagawa to United and are desperate to hold on to Robert unless some ridiculous offer comes their way.
