Bayern Munich threaten to report clubs to FIFA as Manchester United and Chelsea circle unhappy striker Robert Lewandowski
- Striker Robert Lewandowski is understood to be unhappy at Bayern Munich
- Manchester United will rival Chelsea for Lewandowski should Bayern opt to sell
- He is frustrated at team-mates not helping him score more goals last term
- The likelihood of Bayern selling forward has always been considered remote
Bayern Munich have warned rival clubs they will be reported to FIFA if any illegal approach is made over their striker Robert Lewandowski.
Chelsea and Manchester United have both been credited with interest in the Poland international with enquiries understood to have been made over the past week after Lewandowski's agent reported that he was not happy.
A club statement read: 'Lewandowski’s contract expires 2021, he signed it not long ago.
Robert Lewandowski was disappointed his team-mates did not help him finish as top scorer
Despite enjoying a strong campaign and scoring 30 goals, Lewandowski was pipped by one
'Lewandowski does not want to leave Bayern. There are no talks with other clubs and there won’t be any.
'If other clubs negotiate with long time contract players they risk a FIFA penalty.'
The 28-year-old is understood to be unhappy at Bayern with his agent Maik Barthel claiming that the management and team-mates didn't support him enough towards the end of the season when he wanted to finish as top scorer and played through the pain barrier with an injured shoulder.
Lewandowski extended his contract last December to 2021 and the likelihood of Bayern selling the prolific Poland international has always been considered remote.
Real Madrid have long been recognised as favourites for the Poland international but it is understood he would be keen on testing himself in the Premier League and living in London does appeal.
