Lewandowski's agent warns Bayern off Higuain move

Robert Lewandowski's agent has laughed off Bayern Munich's interest in Gonzalo Higuain by claiming "those who have a beautiful bride should not look at other beautiful brides".

Argentina international Higuain has been in stunning form for Serie A table-toppers Napoli and leads the Serie A scoring charts with 18 goals - with next best Eder only on 11. 

His form led to Bayern chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge stating earlier this week: "Clearly Higuain is a player we like, he is doing very well.

"Despite that, I doubt my friend Aurelio De Laurentiis [Napoli president] will sell."

Lewandowski has been equally prolific for runaway Bundesliga leaders Bayern, scoring 23 goals in 26 games in all competitions for Pep Guardiola's all-conquering side.

And his agent Maik Barthel does not believe the club should be looking elsewhere when they have a player of Lewandowski's calibre in their squad.

He told Bild: "Those who have a beautiful bride should not look at other beautiful brides."
