There are few strikers in world football more complete than Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski.

The Polish hitman, Harry Kane, Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani are the arguably the four finest around, scoring goals for fun in Europe's top five leagues,

Lewandowski has arguably improved since his controversial free transfer from Borussia Dortmund to Munich, but there has always been the lingering rumour that the 29-year-old may seek a move to Real Madrid at some point in his career.

In fact, Spanish publication Marca believe that Los Blancos are still his dream move despite the success he has had in Germany.

They reported on Thursday that Lewandowski may still try and force a move in the summer.

Marca write: "Lewandowski believes himself to be in a position of power, and able to force a situation that could open the negotiations, and he certainly hasn't hidden from his circle of confidants that he regrets not having signed for Real Madrid on either of the two occasions when they got in touch with him."

Maybe he does want the move?

Or, maybe they were just publishing nonsense, because just a few hours later, reports from Germany surfaced with quotes from the man himself about the Real Madrid links.

MARCA PUT IN THEIR PLACE

"I know the situation, every year we talk about the same thing again," Lewandowski stated to Kicker.

"I'm not interested in rumours.

"I have no idea [where the reports have come from].

“I did not hear that they [agent Cezary Kucharski and Real Madrid] were talking. I think that's another piece of speculation."

Well, that should settle it.

Lewandowski is currently under contract with Bayern until 2021 and he also states that absolutely no contact has been made with him and Real.

Los Blancos are known to be on the market for a new striker but in the wake of Lewandowski's words, they may be better served pursuing Inter Milan's Mauro Icardi.
