Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski hasn't dropped hopes of moving to Real Madrid this summer.

While Bayern directors have publicly declared Lewandowski will be staying this new season, Marca reports the Pole retains the opposite view.

Indeed, given encouragement from Madrid, Lewandowski is prepared to demand a transfer at Bayern to push negotiations along.

The centre-forward hired super agent Pini Zahavi this summer with the express purpose to find him a move out of Munich. Zahavi's contract with Lewy expires the day after this transfer window closes.

At Real, new coach Julen Lopetegui believes his squad is short of a centre-forward and has discussed Lewandowski with president Florentino Perez.
