Watzke understands Lewandowski fury over transfer denial

Borussia Dortmund general manager Hans-Joachim Watzke has expressed understanding for Robert Lewandowski’s frustration at being denied a summer transfer to Bayern Munich.

Lewandowski, who is widely expected to join the European champions when his contract expires in a year’s time, said after the weekend Supercup 4-2 win over Bayern that he was happy still to be a Dortmund player as he gets on well with his team-mates – but not so much with certain other members of the club.
