'Won't let Lewa leave'

Real Madrid have held talks with Poland's star striker Robert Lewandowski, his agent has confirmed, while Bayern Munich insist they will pay whatever it takes to keep him.

"Real Madrid approached us a few weeks ago, we have listened to everything and informed Bayern that we have held talks," Lewandowski's agent Cezary Kucharski said.

The Poland hot-shot has a contract in Munich until 2019, but made it clear he is weighing his options.

"I've been in Germany for six years, have won everything here. Sometimes you have to consider whether it makes sense to try something new," Lewandowski said recently.

But Bayern's chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has said the Bavarian giants have 'no pain barrier' when it comes to what they will pay to keep their hot-shot in Munich.

“One thing I know for sure: Robert Lewandowski will play in the upcoming season at Bayern Munich," Rummenigge said. "The decision has been made: we won't let Lewandowski go, regardless of what offer lands on the table. There is no pain-barrier [to what Bayern will pay] when it comes to Robert."
