The Bundesliga champions have been in hot pursuit of the Poland international this summer but Dortmund have refused to let the striker leave Westfalenstadion this summer.&nbsp;<br />

Lewandowski has been vocal about his intentions about joining Bayern but Dortmund are prepared to lose the striker for free next summer when his contract expires.<br />

However, rumors about a possible swap deal involving Mario Mandzukic and Lewandowski have been doing the rounds but Rummenigge has ruled out any such possibility.<br />

"This is something I do not favour. This will not take place," he told Sport1 media.<br />

"We are delighted about Mario Mandzukic's stay at our club. He is a very important player for Bayern Munich.<br />

"There is no doubt you could easily spot this against BSV Rehden this week. The manager was totally pleased and happy with Mario."
