Bayern Munich coach Julian Nageslmann says striker Robert Lewandowski will remain with the Bundesliga side next season.
Lewandowski is out of contract in 2023 and has not yet signed a new deal with Bayern, therefore drawing interest from Barcelona, who want a striker this summer.
The player is open to a near experience after a decade in Germany, but Nageslmann has played down the chances of the Poland international leaving.
"Lewy has a contract and will continue with us," he said in a press conference ahead of Saturday's game against Borussia Dortmund, Lewandowski's ex-side.
Barça are interested because, at the age of 33 and with just a year on his deal, he's a cheaper option than Erling Haaland.
Reports suggest he would command a fee of around 40 million euros, an elevated amount but more assumable for the Blaugrana, who need a No.9 to satisfy Xavi's needs.
