Bayern Munich has confirmed that Polish striker Robert Lewandowski has agreed to sign a two-year contract extension keeping him at the club until June 2021.

This season, Lewandowski has already went on to score 19 goals from 22 appearances in all competitions playing for the Bundesliga side.

The 28-year-old admits that he is delighted to have extended his stay with the club after pledging his loyalty to the Bundesliga champions.

‘I’m very happy the negotiations yielded a positive result and that I’ll stay at Bayern for a few more years. We still have ambitious goals,’ Lewandowski told the Bayern Munich website.

Bayern AG chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has mirrored what the Polish captain said by insisting that he was equally delighted with the agreement the club and Lewandowski.

‘I’m happy we’ve secured the services of one of the world’s best centre-forwards over the long term. We now have certainty that another key player will wear the FC Bayern shirt in the coming years,’ Rummenigge said.
