Lewandowski going nowhere, says Bayern boss Kovac

Niko Kovac is adamant Robert Lewandowski will not leave Bayern Munich despite the reported Real Madrid target's open interest in a new challenge.

Lewandowski's agent, Pini Zahavi, has previously confirmed his client's hope to move on from the Allianz Arena and Kovac is aware of the desire.

European champions Madrid have long been linked with the Poland international, who would go some way to easing the goalscoring burden left by Cristiano Ronaldo's departure to Real Madrid.

Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke added further fuel to the transfer speculation by revealing he would be willing to spend €100 million to bring Lewandowski back to his former club.
