'Bayern have Lewandowski cover' - Rummenigge calm over Wagner sale

Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is not concerned by the prospect of Robert Lewandowski being Bayern Munich's only recognised out-and-out striker for the remainder of the season.

Bayern sanctioned the sale of Sandro Wagner on Wednesday, just a year on from his arrival from Hoffenheim, after the Germany international received a lucrative offer from Chinese Super League side Tianjin Teda.

Speaking after the transfer was confirmed, Bayern sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic stated: "Sandro Wagner came up to us and asked for a release from his contract. He has a very attractive offer from China and we have met his request.
