'Lewandowski an egotist but won't leave' - Hitzfeld expects Real Madrid target to remain at Bayern

A former manager of the Bundesliga giants has been left less than impressed by the antics of a prolific frontman, but is still tipping him to stay put

Robert Lewandowski has been branded “an egotist” by former Bayern Munich manager Ottmar Hitzfeld, but the prolific striker is still expected to remain at the Allianz Arena.

Amid much talk of a summer move elsewhere, with Real Madrid having long been linked with an approach for the Poland international, the 29-year-old has fanned the transfer flames with his petulant antics.

Lewandowski refused to shake hands with Jupp Heynckes after being replaced by Sandro Wagner 13 minutes from the end of a 3-1 victory over Cologne on Saturday.
