With Robert Lewandowski arriving in the summer, Bayern Munich has been widely expected to sell Mario Mandzukic. But Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, chairman of Bayern, said he expects the club to keep Mandzukic.

"I am aware that several clubs are interested in him but I think he will stay past the end of this season," Rummenigge said. "I am noticing something by the players. They know what it means to play for Bayern and they appreciate it. They live in a beautiful city, a beautiful stadium, the best manager and the club is well known internationally."

Mandzukic leads the Bundesliga in goals.
