Lewandowski will join Bayern this summer, says agent
Cezary Kucharski, one of Robert Lewandowski's agents, has revealed that the striker will leave Borussia Dortmund for Bayern Munich in the summer transfer window.
The Poland international has long been linked with a move to the Champions League winners and his representative has made it clear that the deal could be completed shortly.
"Robert will join Bayern this summer. There is no point in pretending that he will not move to Bayern. Robert wants to leave and that is what will happen," Kucharski told TVN24.
"It is a matter of time. It could be a done deal within a week or within two to three weeks. We are waiting for a signal from the club. We are working on this deal.
"Robert needs a new challenge. He needs other people around him, a new coach and new motivation."
Maik Barthel, Lewandowski's other agent, claimed earlier this season that the 24-year-old has already agreed terms with another club, prompting Bayern to issue a statement denying that they had reached an agreement with the striker back in April.
Nevertheless, Bayern coach Jupp Heynckes suggested at the weekend that Lewandowski is destined to follow in the footsteps of Mario Gotze and leave BVB for the Allianz Arena side.
Lewandowski has a contract with Dortmund until June 2014, yet he's widely expected to leave the club this summer following his refusal to sign a new deal.
He had also caught the attention of clubs such as Juventus, Manchester United and Real Madrid, but his next destination seems to be Munich following Kucharski's latest comments.

This are the Bayern's golden generation
Philipp Lahm believes that Champions League victory allows the current Bayern Munich to adopt the tag of "golden generation".
The Bavarians lost twice at the final hurdle in Europe in the previous three seasons, but an 89th-minute winner from Arjen Robben secured a 2-1 win in an enthralling match against Borussia Dortmund.
Lahm believes Saturday's victory at Wembley will be just the beginning of a superb spell at the Allianz Arena, with a DFB-Pokal final on June 1 and a Bundesliga title in the bag.
"The pressure was enormous at the beginning. I've always said, if you want to be a golden generation, then you have to win an international title," the German full-back told Bild.
"Today, we finally succeeded. The team are at the right age and has good times ahead."
Javi Martinez was another star for the Roten against BVB and he says being crowned a European champion is the best experience in his professional football career to date.
"This is my happiest moment I can remembered in football in all my life, since I started playing aged five, through all of the times I've experienced in football," AS quote the midfielder as saying.
