The club’s executive director, Oliver Khan, speaking on Sunday, insisted the striker has a year left on his contract, and he will honour it.
“It’s not something that causes us a headache. We made an offer to his agent. He rejected this offer”, he said.
Adding: “The fact is: Lewa has a contract and he will fulfill it. Stop, basta!”, Kahn added.

Despite the club insisting Lewandowski won’t leave this summer, the striker has reportedly agreed on a three-year deal with the Catalan club.
In the event Lewandowski leaves, Bayern have been linked with a move for Liverpool winger Sadio Mane.
