Lewandowski and Alaba not for sale, Rummenigge warns Real Madrid

Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has warned Real Madrid that Robert Lewandowski and David Alaba are going nowhere.

Lewandowski's agent Cezary Kucharski recently revealed Madrid have been in touch to discuss a potential move, while the European champions have also been heavily linked with Alaba.

"We closed the door on them," Rummenigge told Sport Bild when asked about Madrid's interest.

"No player will leave Bayern Munich unless we want him to leave. We have a good relationship with Madrid, just like with Barcelona.

"But it has been common knowledge in Europe since 2008, when Franck Ribery was linked with a transfer, that we will not sell anyone against our own wish."
