Lewandowski had appeared to be on the verge of completing his “dream move” to the European champions at the end of last week, but Dortmund president Hans-Joachin Watzke is adamant that they will not allow him to join their bitter rivals.
“Lewandowski will definitely not go to Bayern in 2013,” Watke said in an interview with the German sports paper Bild. “This is final.”
That may merely delay the inevitable as Lewandowski will be out of contract at Dortmund next summer and free to join Bayern at that time, but it could also give Manchester United renewed hope of landing the striker, one of the hottest football talents in Europe.
United have previously expressed an interest in signing the Poland international, but the player himself appeared to be determined to follow his Dortmund team-mate Mario Götze to Munich.
Manchester City and even Chelsea may also look to exploit Dortmund’s reluctance to lose one of their best players to the side that defeated them in both domestic and European football this season, most notably the Champions League final at Wembley last month.
