Bayern Munichfollowing the striker’s request to depart.
Lewandowski refused to pen a new offer from the club last month. He joined the club in 2014 from
Borussia Dortmundon a free transfer.
He asked the club to leave as the season reached its end and he does not want wait until his deal expires.
Lewandowski has also insisted that he does not like to stay, saying this week:
"What is certain at the moment is that my story at Bayern is over. I don't see any chance of continuing my career at this club."
Muller, however, is hoping that he changes his mind and stays at the club.
Bayern won eight consecutive Bundesliga titles since Lewandowski arrived at the club.
Speaking to German magazine Kicker, Muller said:
"I would like my long-term attacking partner to stay."
Barcelona are keen on acquiring Lewandowski’s services, but they are struggling financially.
"It's a break and we've experienced a lot during these times,"
said Muller.
"I just remember Franck Ribery's desire to move to Real Madrid."
Muller added:
"One thing is certain: every player, who is still under contract in Munich on September 1, will also want to play well, because no player enjoys playing badly."
