Lewandowski is a candidate to go to Madrid - Beckenbauer

Honorary Bayern Munich president Franz Beckenbauer has revealed Robert Lewandowski is a candidate to move to Real Madrid.

Lewandowski, who joined from Borussia Dortmund in 2014 on a free transfer, has established himself as one of the best strikers in Europe. 

Amid reported interest in Lewandowski from the Premier League, Beckenbauer has opened up speculation about a move to La Liga under Zinedine Zidane. 

"Robert Lewandowski has been mentioned as a possible candidate for Real Madrid," Beckenbauer told DPA. 

However, Beckenbauer has squashed any potential rumours about Thomas Muller, insisting his future is with the reigning Bundesliga champions. 

"[Muller] has assured he wants to continue at Bayern, which will make the fans want him even more," he said.

Bayern are on track for a third successive Bundesliga crown, holding an eight-point gap over Dortmund in the table.
