The Poland international striker has been linked with a summer move to the Santiago Bernabeu but has been urged to stay at Bayern Munich by one of the club's former players
Former Bayern Munich striker Giovane Elber says that Robert Lewandowski would be making a mistake if he joined Real Madrid or Barcelona because he might not play every week.
The 27-year-old moved to the Allianz Arena on a free transfer after leaving Borussia Dortmund in July 2014 but reports have linked him with a summer switch to Spain.
However, he has been urged to reject any approach from Madrid or Barca by the man who used to wear his No.9 shirt at Bayern.
Elber told Goal: "Lewandowski should not thinking about signing for another club. He can win the Champions League with Bayern, the league and the cup.
"If you sign for Real or Barca it can be that you don't play. I hope Lewandowski stays at Munich."
Lewandowski has already scored 19 goals in 18 Bundesliga games this season, to help fire Bayern to an eight-point lead at the top of the division.
And with three years remaining on the five-year deal he signed upon joining the club, Elber also sees no reason why the Bavarians would want to buy another striker.
"Bayern don't need another striker. They are positioned well with Lewandowski and [Thomas] Muller. If one of them is out then Pep [Guardiola] would just change the system."
