Robert Lewandowski open to new contract with Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich forward Robert Lewandowski says he is open to signing a contract extension with the Bavarian giants, due to the positive relationships he has with his teammates both on and off the field.

The Polish striker, who joined Bayern out of Borussia Dortmund, has been in fine form, having scored 21 goals in 20 league games - 31 in all competitions this season - and is looking to stay on despite having other options available.

"I know that there is interest from abroad, but I can very well imagine putting pen to paper on a new deal here because of the super team and the good cooperation, because the club is known to honour good performances," Lewandowski told Sport Bild, as quoted by ESPN FC.

"I've noticed how the club has prepared for the future. The new deals for (Jerome) Boateng and (Thomas) Muller were a good sign that FC Bayern can keep their star players despite the money in England."

Lewandowski is currently preparing for his team's next slate of key fixtures, including a domestic tie against his former club Dortmund, as well as a Champions League clash against Juventus.
