Robert Lewandowski to join Bayern Munich in 2014
Borussia Dortmund striker Robert Lewandowski has confirmed he will join Bayern Munich next year.The 25-year-old can sign a pre-contract in January to complete a free transfer switch in the summer - but he hopes to move in the winter transfer window.
"We still have to wait a bit but I say I think in January I can go," the Poland forward, whose deal runs out next summer, told TV station SPORT1.
Lewandowski scored 36 goals for Dortmund last season.
It has been long rumoured that he was going to move to his side's title rivals and when asked if he could confirm the move next year, he said: "Yes, because then I can officially sign a contract."
In the summer, Germany midfielder Mario Gotze went from Dortmund to Munich for £31.5m.
At the start of 2013, midfielder Lewis Holtby made an earlier than expected switch from Schalke to Tottenham when he signed a pre-contract agreement in early January but then moved later that month for £1.5m.
Dortmund - who beat 1860 Munich 2-0 on Tuesday - lost last season's Champions League final 2-1 to Bayern at Wembley.
The Bavarian side went on to become the first side to win the German treble. ]
