Bayern Munich have made it clear that Robert Lewandowski is not going anywhere this summer.

The Poland international has been linked with a move to Chelsea in recent weeks, as Thomas Tuchel seeks to add a centre-forward to his squad.

Chelsea's first choice appeared to be Erling Haaland, but Borussia Dortmund demanded £150m for their prized asset.

"Firstly, in my opinion, Lewandowski is best striker in the world. We are so happy that we have him in our team," Hainer told Goal

“He still has two more years on his contract. He will definitely play those with Bayern Munch. I said it already a few weeks ago – I could imagine him staying with us for even longer. He will honour his contract. 

“He will definitely play the next two seasons here in Bayern Munich.”

Chelsea will therefore have to turn their attention elsewhere once again. 

So far, however, the acquisition of a new striker is proving much easier said than done. Havertz's time as a false nine might not be over just yet.
