The former German captain wrote a Sky Sports Germany column, saying: “I still see Lukaku as the only and ideal alternative.
“[It’s that] or Nagelsmann does [a] Guardiola, and Bayern play with three attackers, but without a striker.
“You would then also break new ground here and deviate from the Bayern system because basically there was always a real nine at Bayern: Gerd Muller, [Giovane] Elber, [Claudio] Pizarro, [Miroslav] Klose, [Mario] Gomez, Lewandowski and many more.
“I still hope that Robert stays, and then Bayern will be able to really attack the Champions League with this offense.”
