Berlin (B2B) - Striker Polandia Robert Lewandowski akan meninggalkan Borussia Dortmund menuju Bayern Munchen musim panas nanti dalam kontrak selama lima tahun, tegas Bayern.
Pemain berusia 25 tahun itu sudah berada di Dortmund sejak musim 2010-11, tapi kontraknya akan habis Juni mendatang, dan Bayern membeberkan bahwa pemain itu akan bergabung mulai 1 Juli nanti.
"Kami senang kedua pihak hari ini telah menyepakati kontrak lima tahun sampai 2019," kata bos Bayern Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, yang membubuhkan tanda tangan bersama dengan direktur olahraga Matthias Sammer setelah Lewandowski menjalani tes kesehatan, seperti dilansir Yahoo News.
"Robert Lewandowski adalah salah satu striker terbaik di dunia," kata Rummenigge. "Kami sangat senang telah menuntaskan transfer ini. Dia akan memperkuat skuad Bayern dan memberi kami dorongan lebih."
Lewandowski telah memberi tahu bos-bosnya di Dortmund musim panas lalu bahwa dia ingin meninggalkan klub tersebut, namun klubnya ini menolak karena sudah terpukul oleh hengkangnya gelandang timnas Jerman Mario Goetze ke Bayern dengan nilai transfer 37 juta euro.
Dua minggu lalu dia membeberkan berencana bergabung dengan Bayern Munchen setelah menjawab pertanyaan Bayern mengenai masa depannya.
"Schaun mer mal (mari kita tunggu dan lihat di Bavaria)," kata Lewandowski kepada harian Jerman Bild ketika ditanyai kemungkinan pindah ke Munchen.
Sejak kedatangannya pada 2010 dari Lech Poznan, Lewandowski telah mengantarkan Dortmund menjuarai liga pada 2011 dan 2012.
11 gol darinya musim ini telah mengantarkan timnya ke peringkat empat Bundesliga, namun masih terpaut 12 poin dari pemuncak klasemen Bayern.
Pemain asal Polandia ini juga menjadi pemain kunci pada kampanye Liga Champions Dortmund musim lalu dengan mencetak empat gol ke gawang Real Madrid pada semifinal Liga Champions namun gagal menciptakan gol saat menghadapi Bayern pada final di Wembley.
Berlin - Polish striker Robert Lewandowski will leave Borussia Dortmund for German rivals Bayern Munich in the summer on a five-year deal, the European champions confirmed on Saturday.
The 25-year-old has been at Dortmund since the 2010-11 season, but his current contract was due to expire in June, and the Bavarian giants revealed he will join their ranks on July 1.
"We´re delighted both parties have today signed a five-year contract until 2019," Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, who was present for the signature along with sporting director Matthias Sammer after Lewandowski underwent a medical.
"Robert Lewandowski is one of the best strikers in the world," said Rummenigge. "We´re very pleased about completing this transfer. He will strengthen the Bayern squad and give us another boost."
Lewandowski had informed Dortmund bosses last summer that he wanted to leave, but the club refused having already been hit by the departure of German midfielder Mario Goetze for Bavaria in a 37-million-euro deal.
But he had dropped a heavy hint that he planned to join Bayern Munich two weeks ago after responding in Bavarian to a question about his future.
"Schaun mer mal (´let´s wait and see´ in Bavarian)," Lewandowski told German daily Bild when asked about a possible move to Munich.
Since his arrival in 2010 from Lech Poznan, Lewandowski had helped Dortmund win the league title in 2011 and 2012.
His 11 goals this season have helped his team to fourth place in the Bundesliga, but they are 12 points behind runaway leaders Bayern.
The Pole was also a key player in the Dortmund´s European campaign last season, scoring four goals against Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals before falling to Bayern in the final in Wembley.
Rummenigge, meanwhile, ruled out speculation of a move for Chelsea defender David Luiz.
"There´s a lot of speculation ... we´re being linked with David Luiz and other Spanish players at the present time," he said.
"Let me state this very clearly: it´s all of no interest whatsoever to us. What I´d personally like is for Holger Badstuber to make a comeback."
German centre-back Badstuber underwent a fourth operation in October on right knee ligaments he has twice ruptured.
