Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is confident that striker Robert Lewandowski will sign a new contract with the club in the near future.
The Poland international joined the club from Borussia Dortmund in 2014 and has been a shrewd acquisition, scoring a stunning 77 goals in 113 matches over his two years in Munich.
Lewandowski penned a two-year extension not too long ago, meaning his current deal expires in the summer of 2019.
However, his fine form this season – Lewandowski has five goals in eight Bundesliga matches – has prompted the club to offer him a new contract.
And whilst there were suggestions talks had stalled slightly, Rummenigge insists that “things are looking good”.
“Things are looking good,’ Rummenigge told Sport Bild.
“Talks have been ongoing for a number of days and we have gotten off to a good start. And what goes on for a while usually results in something good.
“When we reach an agreement with Lewandowski, we will announce it the day after. We will not be making a spectacle out of it.”
Lewandowski, who has 40 goals in 84 caps for Poland, has won two Bundesliga titles in his two seasons with Bayern and also has a DFB-Pokal Cup to his name which he won last term.
Bayern are top of the table with 18 points after six wins this season, but are just two ahead of fellow unbeaten team RB Leipzig.
