Bayern Munich have issued a strong statement insisting Robert Lewandowski will not leave the club this summer despite interest from Manchester United and Chelsea.

The Polish striker sparked a transfer scramble by admitting his frustration at what he perceived as a lack of help from both his teammates and manager Carlo Ancelotti in attempting to win the Bundesliga Golden Boot this season.

Dortmund's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang went on to claim the prize leaving Lewandowski "hurt" as a result.

United, in the market for a new striker following the injury and subsequent release of top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic, have the 28-year-old as one of five forward targets this summer while Chelsea are also said to be interested.

But Bayern insist their No.9 is going nowhere going as far as threatening Fifa action on anyone who attempts to negotiate with their player.

"Lewandowski does not want to leave Bayern. There are no talks with other clubs and there won't be any," a statement released to Sky Germany read. Lewandowski's contract expires in 2021. He signed it not long ago. If other clubs negotiate with long-term contracted players they risk a Fifa penalty."

The Poland striker had already expressed his disappointment last month before his agent insisted the pain was still there for the 28-year-old earlier this week.

“Robert told me that he got no support and that the coach gave no call to help him in the last game to win the top-scorer title,” Maik Barthel told Kicker. “He was disappointed as I have never seen him before. He really hoped that the team would support him proactively.”

The Independent reported last week that Jose Mourinho had drawn up a list of 25 summer targets before the end of the season, made up of five players for each position he felt needed strengthening.

Lewandowski, along with Alvaro Morata, Romelu Lukaku, Antoine Griezmann and Andrea Belotti, was among the five identified as a replacement for Ibrahimovic, with a deal for the Real Madrid striker now understood to be close.
