Zahavi hits back at Bayern Munich over Barcelona target Lewandowski: He hasn't felt respected by those in charge for months

The agent of Robert Lewandowski has rejected fresh criticism from Bayern Munich sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic.

Pini Zahavi is upset with the claims of Salihamidzic as he pushes to ferry Lewandowski from Bayern to Barcelona.

The Bayern chief said: "He (Lewandowski) has an advisor who turned his head. It's just not clean."

But Zahavi responded, stating: "Just like David Alaba, Robert is a grown man who knows exactly what he wants. I'm definitely not turning his head or trying to influence him, I never do.

"I only represent the interests of the players, that's my maxim. That's what I've been doing in this business for 40 years, where I've been involved in the biggest deals in the world.

“Nobody cares about the money here, neither Robert nor me. He hasn't felt respected by those in charge for months, that's the truth. FC Bayern did not lose the player Lewandowski, but the person Robert."
