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

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

Faced with a direct question about whether he would try to convince his compatriot to join FC Porto, Bednarek gave a brief and unexpected reply, almost brushing off the journalists: “No way.”

Although Lewandowski did not 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 keep 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 doesn’t retire from the national team,” he added.

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