Bayern Munich striker Mario Mandzukic may find it difficult if he stays at the club, according to the club's chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.

Mandzukic, 27, has scored 33 Bundesliga goals in 54 games for Bayern since joining from Wolfsburg in 2012. But this summer sees the arrival of Borussia Dortmund striker Robert Lewandowski, throwing the Croatian's future into doubt.
"If Mario stays here, it won't be easy for him because a world-class player is coming to us," Rummenigge told FAZ. "The question is whether he wants to face up to his competition or would prefer to go to another club. We are open and fair and we talk about everything, so nothing is decided."
Ahead of the German Cup final on Saturday, Pep Guardiola left the striker out of his squad. "He was injured, but on the other hand he actually was able to play," he told a news conference. "But I decided to take 18 players with me. And Mandzukic is not in the squad."
Mandzukic has netted 13 times in 48 appearances for his country and is sure to attract attention after his appearances at the World Cup this summer with Arsenal and Chelsea monitoring the situation.
