Bayern Munich president Hainer warns Barcelona target Lewandowski over exit claims

Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer has warned Robert Lewandowski he will not be sold this summer.

Lewandowski's current deal runs until 2023 and with Barcelona in contact he has expressed his desire to try his luck elsewhere ahead of next season.

"It is very possible that this was my last game in Bayern Munich's colours," Lewandowski said after Saturday's 2-2 draw with Wolfsburg.

"I can't be 100 percent sure, but it is possible that it was.

"We want to find the best solution for myself and for the club."

Hainer didn't hesitate to respond to Lewandowski's remarks, confirming on Sunday that the player turned down the club's offer to renew his deal.

"Lewandowski has a contract until 2023 and he will play with us until then," Hainer told Sport 1.

"[Bayern Munich directors] Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidzic made him an offer to extend the contract. Apparently, it was not accepted.

"Lewandowski said that we have to find a solution for both parties and Bayern Munichis one of the parties. It's his right not to want to extend the contract."
