Confident Jurgen Klopp: “We Will Sign Robert Lewandowski, Not Man Utd”

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is confident that he can convince Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski to move to Anfield amidst interests from Man Utd and Real Madrid, according to the Telegraph.

The Poland international has emerged as one of the world’s best strikers during his spell with Bayern Munich and has scored 23 goals in 26 appearances this season. However, the credit of discovering the gem goes to the Reds manager who signed Lewandowski from Polish side Lech Poznan in 2010 for a bargain £3.4million fee.

The 27-year-old rose to international fame during his spell with Borussia Dortmund under Jurgen Klopp as he helped the club win two Bundesliga titles.

Bayern Munich star is currently valued at £50million, but it would a difficult task to convince the Bundesliga club into selling their star.

Recently Bayern president Franz Beckenbauer confirmed that La Liga giants Real Madrid are also interested in the services of the striker. “Robert Lewandowski has been mentioned as a possible candidate for Real Madrid,” he said.

Lewandowski himself spoke this week about a potential switch to England. He said: “I don’t see any difference between Bayern and England’s big clubs. Of course, the English clubs have plenty of money to spend — but they always had a lot of money and Bayern have always been able to compete.

“There is not a single club in England that will catch Bayern just because they have more money all of a sudden.”
