Bayern Munich star Robert Lewandowski has not yet heard anything from the club regarding talks over a new contract.
Lewandowski scored for a 27th time against former club Borussia Dortmund on Saturday, as Bayern’s 3-1 win in Der Klassiker ensured the Bundesliga title was theirs for a 10th successive campaign.
That is a record across Europe’s top five leagues, with no side having ever managed 10 titles in a row. Indeed, Bayern shared the previous record with Juventus (nine).
However, Lewandowski is about to enter the final year of his contract with Bayern, who he joined from Dortmund on a free transfer in 2014.
Speculation has mounted that the 33-year-old may well move on ahead of next season, with Barcelona having been linked.
And the Poland forward confirmed he has not yet been told if talks over a new deal were progressing.
“I read what was in the media, but I haven’t heard anything from the club,” Lewandowski told Sky Sport.
“A meeting is coming soon, but I don’t know what will happen either.
“I also see what’s happening, it’s not that easy for me.”
Lewandowski has scored 33 goals in the Bundesliga so far this season, 12 more than any other player, and Julian Nagelsmann would surely be against losing such a crucial player.
However, Bayern’s boss – who has now won his first league title as a coach – trusts the club to make the right decision.
He told Sky Sport: “I trust in the work of [sporting director] Hasan [Salihamidzic] and Oliver [Kahn]. Today he played again very well. He secured a lot of balls and was extremely strong in tackles.
“There is not much to say about him. It goes without saying when you look at the statistics how important he is for Bayern Munich.”
