Robert Lewandowski has opened talks with Bayern Munich

 

Robert Lewandowski's agent has confirmed talks are underway with Bayern Munich over a new contract.

The Bayern Munich striker has been linked with the biggest clubs in Europe including Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United and Liverpool.

But his representative Cezary Kucharski has revealed negotiations have started.

"Yes, we've started talking. I can confirm this," he told Polsat Sport. 

"I won't talk about specifics, because it's confidential.

"Real have not conducted talks over a transfer. It's just speculation. Rumours around Robert show what a player he is. He's known not only in Poland or Germany, but throughout Europe.

 

"There are no talks with PSG. The English write about English clubs, the French about PSG, the Spaniards Real Madrid, and Juventus in Italy. In each country a great club is linked with Robert.

"But Lewandowski is at a team that suits him, and there is no need to change anything. 

"I know Rummenigge is aware that Lewy is a great player, who has great value for Bayern, and how such a boy should be rewarded."

Juventus chief executive Giuseppe Marotta expressed his confidence that Massimiliano Allegri will stay at the club despite interest from Chelsea.

"We have a great rapport with Allegri," Marotta told Mediaset Premium.

"Contracts are not as important as the relationships between people.

 

"With Allegri, the conditions are all there to continue. The team is doing well and improving a great deal."

Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has opened up about the possibility of staying at Roma, where he is currently on loan.

He told Sportmediaset: "So far I have not had communication problems, everyone in the team speaks excellent English. Learning Italian? For now I focus more on playing football. 

"I do not know how long I will stay in Rome, of course, if there will be an opportunity to stay longer then I'll devote more time to learning Italian. And I do not exclude that to happen. 

"It may not be the ideal solution, but here at Roma I find it really good for me."
