Robert Lewandowski's future continues to be a hot topic, and following Poland's 2-2 draw against Nigeria, his national teammate and FC Porto player, Jan Bednarek, offered a curious response regarding a potential move for the striker to the Estádio do Dragão, a possibility already dismissed by André Villas-Boas.
When directly asked if he would try to persuade his compatriot to join FC Porto, Jan Bednarek gave a short and surprising answer, almost dodging the journalists' microphones: "No way."
Despite Lewandowski failing to score in both international friendlies during this break—a 0-2 loss to Ukraine and a draw with Moffi and Zaidu's Nigeria—Bednarek was full of praise for his captain. "He didn't need to be here with us. This shows he believes in our team. The experience he brings will certainly help the younger players," the defender stated, as quoted by Polsat Sport.
Bednarek also expressed his desire to continue sharing the locker room with the forward for the national team. "He's a player we want to play with for as long as possible. I believe he's the best in the history of the Polish national team. Playing alongside him is an incredible pleasure. I hope he doesn't retire from international football," he emphasized.
Regarding his club future, Lewandowski is currently a free agent after his departure from Barcelona. While rumors circulated about potential interest from FC Porto, president André Villas-Boas had already ruled out such a scenario, citing the club's financial inability to make a signing of that magnitude.
