Robert Lewandowski has refused to rule out an exit away from Bayern Munich this summer, conceding he’s ‘open minded’ about the future and wants to experience ‘new cultures’.
The Polish striker had yet another spectacular campaign in front of goal for Bayern, netting 41 goals in 29 games to break Gerd Muller’s 49-year-old Bundesliga scoring record for a single season in Germany.
However, there has been rumors about Lewandowski’s future with Chelsea, Barcelona and Real Madrid all reported to be weighing up moves for the player, despite the fact he has two years left on his current deal at the Allianz Arena.
A recent report from Sky Sport Germany claim Chelsea had already opened discussions over a potential deal for Lewandowski as Tuchel looks to bolster his squad with the addition of a top-class striker.
And while Bayern insist Lewandowski will be going nowhere, the striker did little to dampen speculation that he could be set to join another club during an interview with Canal+ on Sunday.
‘I remain open minded. I feel very good at Bayern, the city is superb, it’s a great club,’ he told the French TV channel.

‘I am always curious to learn a new language, a new culture. ‘But whether it will be in football or after my career, even I don’t know.’
Lewandowski broke Muller’s Bundesliga record in the last minute of Bayern Munich’s final game against Augsburg and he even surprised himself with his feat, especially as he was injured for most of April.
‘I am not obsessed with records. When I take on new challenges, I try to do what no one has ever done because it pushes me to move forward,’ the Poland international added.
‘For me if you do something you love, you can achieve goals you thought were impossible.
‘To be honest, I thought no player could come close to that record, especially since I didn’t play for several matches. I was injured for part of the season.
‘I don’t realise the magnitude of it. ‘I don’t really feel it and maybe that’s a good thing.’
