There have been rumors of the Bundesliga champions interested in signing Cristiano Ronaldo and Harry Kane in recent weeks, although the club have distanced themselves from the rumours. Lewandowski scored 50 goals for his team in all competitions last season, but announced his intention to leave the Bavarians and ended up at Camp Nou. Now, after Bayern's 5-3 win over Leipzig in the DFL Supercup, Oliver Kahn has claimed that the club has no plans to sign the number 9.

"That was strong. You could see how many opportunities we had going forward, how many different formations we had, how surprising we can be, how many good footballers are there, how much speed we can bring into the game with many, many extremely fast players.

"It's the case that we still have options in the current team. [Joshua] Zirkzee is there, [Eric] Choupo-Moting is there, then the young Mathys Tel, who is training incredibly well at the moment. We would also have opportunities there."

In the match against Leipzig, five different players scored and the sports director of the club Hasan Salihamidzic praised the diversity of the players. He said: 

"You could see that we are extremely dangerous, that we have many fast and dangerous players. That's the idea.

"Of course, it's a different way of playing. If the boys do what we envision, I think we can spread the goals on many shoulders."
