Will Lewandowski bolster FC Porto? Jan Bednarek's answer | OneFootball

Robert Lewandowski’s name continues to fuel speculation and, after Poland’s draw against Nigeria (2-2), Jan Bednarek, his international teammate and an FC Porto player, was asked about the possibility of the striker heading to the Dragão – a scenario that had meanwhile already been ruled out by André Villas-Boas.

When asked directly whether he would try to convince his compatriot to move to FC Porto, Bednarek gave a brief and unexpected reply, almost brushing off the journalists: «No way».

Although Lewandowski failed to score in the two friendlies during this international break – the 0-2 defeat to Ukraine and the draw with Moffi and Zaidu’s Nigeria – Bednarek was keen to highlight the captain. «He didn’t need to be here with us. That shows he believes in our team. The experience he has will certainly help the younger players,» said the defender, as quoted by Polsat Sport.

Bednarek also expressed his desire to continue sharing the dressing room with the striker while on international duty. «He is a player we want to play with for as long as possible. It seems to me that he is the best in the history of the Polish national team. Playing alongside him is an incredible pleasure. I hope he does not retire from the national team,» he added.

As for his club future, Lewandowski is a free agent after leaving Barcelona. Although rumours emerged about possible interest from FC Porto, president André Villas-Boas had already dismissed that possibility, pointing to the Dragons’ lack of financial capacity to move for a signing of this magnitude.
