Lewandowski signed a 5 year contract with Bayern Munich that will see him playing with the German giants at the end of the current season but the Polish forward revealed that Szczesny was trying to lure him to join Arsenal.
“I can confirm that Wojciech Szczesny tried to convince me to join Arsenal. We had several talks about this. It was him who did most of the talking, how the club looks inside, what Arsène Wenger thinks of me. When we trained before the Champions League games at Colney, there were important people from Arsenal at our sessions as well.” Lewandowski revealed.
Arsenal failed on signing Lewandowski but still is trying to secure the services of Julian Draxler from Schalke 04.
In the past few years Borussia Dortmund has seen some of their stars being lured away from the club with the most recent cases being Nuri Sahin who signed with Real Madrid, Shinji Kagawa who plays for Manchester United and Mario Gotze who also made a move to Bayern Munich.
Jurgen Klopp now has to think about who will be replacing Robert Lewandowski for the upcoming season with Mario Mandzukic, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and many other names emerging as possible options.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has a contract with PSG that runs up until 2016 but the Swedish forward admitted that he would like to play for 1 last club before announcing his retirement which gives a chance for Klopp to sign the former Ac.Milan player for the last few years of his career.
Mario Mandzukic is another viable option for Borussia Dortmund as Lewandowski will be replacing Mandzukic and it seems hard to believe that he will be content on staying on the bench instead of joining a club where he can get a guaranteed spot into the main team and Borussia Dortmund might just be his best choice.
