The future of Robert Lewandowski is shaping up to be one of the more intriguing topics ahead of the June transfer window in European football. Although the Polish striker will turn 38—right after the World Cup—and despite having his minutes more carefully managed this season, he remains an important asset in the squad of Hansi Flick.

With seven rounds remaining, Kompany’s side need just five more goals to surpass that record—and it seems only a matter of time.Bayern’s president admits his Kane mistakeAt the heart of it all is Harry Kane, who continues to push boundaries in the Bundesliga season after season. Bayern’s chairman of the supervisory board Uli Hoeness spoke about the England’s captain.“It ..
