The 25-year-old though is determined to become a Bayern Munich player and is now looking to snub the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea this summer. Dortmund have already sold star playmaker Mario Gotze to Munich and are now refusing to lose another key player to their rivals. Dortmund have also tried to keep Lewandowski at the club by offering him a pay rise but the prolific striker rejected a contract extension, making it crystal clear he has every intention of the leaving the German side. Lewandowski fired his side straight to the UEFA Champions League final but after being beaten by an 89th minute goal from Arjen Robben, the striker had to watch his rival club lift the silverware.
