Benitez tight- lipped on Lewandowski to Real rumours


Rafael Benitez remained tight-lipped as rumours gather
pace that Real Madrid will move for Bayern Munich
star Robert Lewandowski.

Bayern Munich superstar Robert Lewandowski continues to be
linked with a big-money move to Real Madrid, but Rafael
Benitez had no interest in discussing the possibility of the in-
form striker making the switch to the Santiago Bernabeu.

Poland international Lewandowski has been in sensational form
for Bayern this season and has plundered 14 Bundesliga goals
in as many games for the champions and has 20 in all
competitions.

Speculation gathered pace that Liga giants Real were planning
to swoop for the former Borussia Dortmund striker after the
player's agent was reportedly in attendance as Real beat Getafe
4-1 in La Liga on Saturday.

However, Benitez kept his cards close to his chest when
questioned on the subject ahead of Real's final Champions
League group stage fixture against Malmo.

"Lewandowski? This is a press conference about the Champions
League game," he said. "I won't comment on that."

Madrid have already booked their spot in the Champions
League knockout stages ahead of Tuesday's contest with
Malmo.

It was hoped that centre-back Sergio Ramos would be able to
feature having missed the past four matches with a shoulder
injury, but Benitez confirmed the Spain star is still absent.

"Ramos is not ready for the game," he added. "I think he will be
ready for the game versus Villarreal [on Sunday]."
