Hasan Salihamidzic assumes that Robert Lewandowski will stay at Bayern.

The sports director calls the situation, which has not always been easy in the past few weeks, “repairable”.

Munich – Bayern Munich's sports director Hasan Salihamidzic firmly believes that goalscorer Robert Lewandowski will be reintegrated into the team of the German record champions despite the fuss about his offensively promoted change intentions.

"Yes, I am convinced of it.

He's a pro and he has big goals in his career.

That's why it's repairable," said Salihamidzic in an interview with the pay TV broadcaster Sky.

The 33-year-old Lewandowski had declared that he absolutely wanted to leave Bayern despite his contract running until June 30, 2023.

Likely destination is FC Barcelona.

CEO Oliver Kahn and other club officials had categorically ruled out a change.

Salihamidzic confirmed that he and Kahn spoke to Lewandowski and his agent Pini Zahavi in ​​Mallorca last week.

"I think we had a very good conversation," said the 45-year-old.

"It's true, I was there.

Oliver Kahn was also there, we talked, each side explained their position, but we also discussed that we didn't want to talk about the details.

But it was a good conversation.”

According to the current status, it is clear to Salihamidzic that Lewandowski will stay in Munich.

"So far it's 100 percent.

July 12 is his first day at work, I'll expect him there," he said.

The sports director does not want to get involved in mind games about what kind of offer the Polish world footballer can still go with.

He never deals with things that are now in the air.

Only on Wednesday did Salihamidzic and the club present offensive player Sadio Mané from Liverpool FC as a royal transfer.

Afterwards, there was speculation as to whether the transfer of the Senegalese would make Lewandowski's change more likely.

Salihamidzic has now probably rejected it.
