The Black Yellows’ chief executive has insisted that his side is under no stress to offload the prolific goalscorer for the time being, saying that keeping him at the club could prove to be more beneficial
Borussia Dortmund general manager Hans-Joachim Watzke believes that they do not have to sell star striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robert-Lewandowski-c31255 because of financial constraints at the club.
Therefore, the player could end up staying at Signal Iduna Park in the meantime. The CEO claimed that holding on to the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Poland-c2983 international is economically viable for the Bundesliga giants.
The talented forward has been in great run of form since the start of the current campaign, and has netted nine goals in just 12 league games. However, the player has been constantly linked with a move away to Europe’s top clubs
since the summer, but he decided to stay with the BVB for another season.
Lewandowski enhanced his reputation after helping Dortmund win the domestic double last year and also played well for his country in the 2012 European championships. Moreover, the frontman has continued top form this term as he
impressed both in the Bundesliga and the UEFA Champions League competition.
The chief confirmed that only the Borussians will conclude whether to sell the player or not, and said that they will have talks with the striker regarding his future as well.
"Just to make one thing clear, we alone will make the decision [on whether or not he will be sold]. But of course we will discuss it with him," the club official was quoted as saying in an interview.

"It is simple math. Having Lewandowski play one more season could make more sense economically than to cash in a huge transfer sum,” the general manager added.
“We are under no economical pressure to act," the chief executive officer finally concluded.
Watzke stated the Borussians are under no pressure that they will lose http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robert-c31222 for nothing when his contract expires. He suggested that he would prefer the attacker to play one more term with them rather than a hefty sum after his
sale. Dortmund are currently second in the rankings.
