Robert Lewandowski wants to leave Bayern Munich, according to his agent Pini Zahavi, who told Sport Bild magazine that the Bundesliga’s top scorer “feels that he needs a change and a new challenge in his career”.

Zahavi, the Israeli agent who helped facilitate Neymar’s world-record transfer from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain last year, said Lewandowski’s reasons “are not money or a specific club, as nearly all top clubs would like to have the world’s best striker in their ranks”.

The 29-year-old Poland striker, whose contract with Bayern runs until 2021, has scored 106 goals in 126 Bundesliga games for the club since switching from Borussia Dortmund in 2014. He helped the team win the league each year, chipping in 29 goals this past season.

Bayern’s chairman, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, recently ruled out a transfer. “We know what we have in Robert Lewandowski. Nobody need worry, he will also play football here in Munich next year,” he said.

Lewandowski parted with his previous agent, Cezary Kucharski, in February, when he turned to Zahavi. Sport Bild reported that Real Madrid’s interest has cooled after Lewandowski’s failure to score in the Champions League semi-finals against them, but claimed that PSG, Chelsea and Manchester United are interested.
