ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI. TO REVEAL NEXT CLUB

According to Polish television host Mateusz Borek,
Robert Lewandowski – who is currently with German
club Borussia Dortmund – will reveal which club he will
be joining next on January 2nd. Borek took to Twitter to
reveal the news just after Lewandowski appeared on his
TV show 'Football Café' making the Poles tweet even
more believable.
Lewandowski's current deal at Borussia Dortmund is set
to expire at the end of the season, meaning the the
Polish international striker is free to sign a pre-contract
agreement with another club from January 1st, when the
winter trasnfer window opens. Bookmakers have had
Bayern Munich down as favourites to land Lewandowski
for some time now but the player has never confirmed
this is where he would like to play next, leaving many
speculating where the forward will be plying his trade
next season.
Europe’s elite have shown interest in signing
Lewandowski and he has previously been linked with
moves to Manchester United, Barcelona and Real Madrid
but right now all signs are pointing to a club closer to
home in the Bundesliga.
