Arsene Wenger admits Robert Lewandowski, Mario Mandzukic interest

Arsene Wenger hints at a summer move for Bayern Munich's Mario Mandzukic after admitting that Arsenal failed in their attempts to sign Robert Lewandowski.

Arsene Wenger has hinted that Arsenal could move for Mario Mandzukic in the summer after Robert Lewandowski signed a five-year deal to join Bayern Munich at the end of the season.

The Borussia Dortmund striker has penned a pre-contract agreement with the Champions League holders for a transfer ahead of next term, which has raised speculation about the future of current Bayern forward Mandzukic.

"Yes we looked into Lewandowski but honestly he signed for Bayern one and a half years ago, everyone knows that." Wenger told the press. "They can only make it official now because he is in the last six months of his contract.

"We are like everyone, we look out there and see what is happening. If an opportunity turns up, you know as well that all the big players are at big clubs at the moment and they go for important targets. Unless you have a club in a desperate financial situation it will be difficult.

"Lewandowski is at Dortmund until the end of the season and they will not sell Mandzukic now – maybe at the end of the season."

Mandzukic joined Bayern from Wolfsburg in 2012.
