Robert Lewandowski officially joins Bayern Munich

Dortmund striker Robert Lewandowski has become a Bayern Munich player after signing a five-year contract.

On the official website, Bayern club also confirmed the information about this transfer, and affirmed that Lewandowski will officially wear the Bavarian Tigers' shirt on July 1, 2014.

Robert Lewandowski joins Bayern.

Speaking to the press, Chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge could not hide his joy after owning Europe's top striker, he said: "Lewandowski is one of the best strikers in the world at the moment. With the presence of this player, Bayern Munich's strength will increase many times."

Lewandowski is the second Dortmund player to join Bayern Munich in two consecutive years. Last year, Mario Gotze also left for the "Gray Tigers" with a record fee of up to 37 million euros.

Currently, the salary that Bayern will pay Lewandowski has not been revealed. However, according to the media, because they do not have to pay a fee to recruit this striker (who will expire his contract with Dortmund at the end of the season), Bayern will likely pay a high salary to the Polish striker.

Lewandowski's joining Bayern will certainly have a significant impact on other strikers playing for the team, especially striker Mario Mandzukic.

In response to concerns raised by the press, President Rummenigge has spoken out to dispel the rumors by affirming that Mario Mandzukic is still the future of the team even though the Allianz Arena team has signed a contract with Robert Lewandowski.

"We are very happy with Mario Mandzukic's performance," said Rummenigge. "He contributed a lot to the club's titles last season. He is a great player who thrived at Bayern."

"Mario's contract with Bayern is still valid until June 30, 2016 and we have spoken with his representative but it is not a discussion about selling Mario (Mandzukic)"./.
