Ronaldo isn't stupid, he wants Lewandowski because he's the world's best - Elber

Robert Lewandowski is the best striker in the world, says Bayern Munich legend Giovane Elber, with interest from Real Madrid and Cristiano Ronaldo coming as no surprise.

The prolific Poland international is once again sparking transfer talk ahead of the summer window, with his future being called into question on a regular basis.

Lewandowski’s remarkable return in Germany, spread across spells at Borussia Dortmund and the Allianz Arena, has seen him identified as a possible ‘Galactico’ at Santiago Bernabeu.

Elber, who has lost his record as Bayern’s highest-scoring foreign star to the 29-year-old, believes such talk is an obvious consequence of having one of the finest forwards on the planet on your books.
