Robert Lewandowski says he is ‘open to everything’ this summer in a hint he could leave Bayern Munich.

The Poland striker, 33, has a contract with the German champions through until 2023 but has previously suggested he could move on a year early.

That’s despite another outstanding season in which Lewandowski has scored 39 goals in 33 matches across all competitions.

The Polish striker, 33, is again in sensational form with 39 goals in 33 games this season

For the third consecutive season, he is on course to return a ratio of more than one goal per game.

But with no new contract offer forthcoming, Lewandowski told Sky Sport Deutschland: ‘I am open to everything. I’m quiet.

‘It is important for me to be able to focus on my game, always on what can happen in the last match.

‘Everything that remains to be done regarding contracts is a secondary issue and remains in the background.’

In December, Lewandowski also insisted he was concentrating solely on his game rather than negotiating for a new Bayern deal.

Reports in the Spanish press last month linked Lewandowski with a move to Real Madrid 

But reports from Spanish newspaper AS last month said Lewandowski was determined to finish his career with Real Madrid.  

There is still plenty to play for this season with Bayern on course to win a 10th consecutive Bundesliga title.

Results at the weekend saw them establish an eight-point lead over Borussia Dortmund in second with 10 rounds of the season still to play.

They also maintain hopes of winning the Champions League again, though they could only draw 1-1 with Red Bull Salzburg in the first leg of their last-16 tie.

Bayern’s chairman Herbert Hainer, however, believes that Lewandowski will eventually agree to a new contract and see out the remainder of his career at the club alongside Thomas Muller and Manuel Neuer.

Hainer said: ‘I would love for all three of them to finish their careers at FC Bayern and I also firmly assume they will.’

Bayern host Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga on Saturday afternoon ahead of the home return leg of their Champions League tie with Salzburg on Tuesday.
