The issue with scoring four goals in a Cup semi-final against Real Madrid is that individuals will take an interest. Robert Lewandowski made himself one of Europe's most widely used strikers on Wednesday with an amazing one-man show at the Westfalenstadion, score three outstanding centre-forward's objectives before a penalty kick that'll almost certainly send him and Borussia Dortmund to the Champions League final. But that game could be Lewandowski's last for Dortmund. The striker has only one more time left on his contract following this one and does not appear to be signing an extension. No membership will want to lose a person that great on a free of charge exchange, meaning a summer departure is very possible. The absolute most likely location, to much stress in Dortmund, is Bayern Munich. Dortmund's likely Champions League final opponents appear to be doing their best to make sure there's no Bundesliga name race next year. Mario GAtze is heading from Dortmund to Munich come early july for a37m (A31.1m) and Lewandowski may well follow. According to the German press, Lewandowski is interested in a move and has arranged a handle the Bavarian team. Bayern have offered Dortmund a25m (A21m) but that's been refused. Lewandowski's representative, Maik Barthel, said this week that "we reach an agreement with a club and mean him to maneuver this summer." His current director, JArgen Klopp, said on Wednesday night that he was "pretty sure" that Lewandowski could remain at Dortmund, but when he'll not sign an extension there come early july may be an auction. Sir Alex Ferguson is well known to be an, and Manchester United were also considered to have countenanced selling Wayne Rooney to Bayern to boost their odds of landing Lewandowski. Manchester City may also be looking for a striker come july 1st and if they can't sign Napoli's Edinson Cavani then Lewandowski would have been a very plausible alternative. He's all of the skills needed to flourish in England, is strong enough and sharp enough in the box to play as a No 9, while also having the quick feet to produce his own chances. His turns for the third and second objectives on Wednesday were beautiful. There's also the outlook of interest from Spain, with Real Madrid not seriously happy with either Karim Benzema or Gonzalo Higuain. He was described by the Spanish newspaper El Mundo as "the greatest Polish expertise since Zbigniew Boniek" today, which might well be right. Lewandowski has certainly been the best centre-forward in the Bundesliga for two years. He scored 30 goals last year as Dortmund won the German Double, with a against Bayern in the cup final and a skillfully flicked success in the subject decider against his prospective new employers. But even at 24 he is already very used to bearing the scoring duty. His vast goal price provided a cup and a league title, their first since 1993, before he joined Dortmund in 2010, when at Lech Poznan. He already has 50 hats and 17 goals for Poland, like the first goal of Euro 2012. "His quality, his attitude, his physical fitness, how he considers soccer, and how cool he is," Klopp said after his four-goal transport, detailing Lewandowski's characteristics. "And out from the entire world, he represents for Dortmund." He could yet carry much more honor to Dortmund in 2013 but that then may be it.
