Ramos to replace Lewandowski

COLOMBIAN striker Adrian Ramos will leave Hertha Berlin in the summer to replace the Bayern Munich-bound Robert Lewandowski at Borussia Dortmund, the latter club announced yesterday.

The 28-year-old, capped 23 times by Colombia, signed a four-year deal that will run through until June 2018. German media reported a transfer fee of around 9 million euros (US$12.4 million).

“Adrian Ramos is an excellent player and one of the best goal-scorers in Germany. He corresponds perfectly to Borussia Dortmund’s demands,” said Michael Zorc, the club’s sporting director.

The signing of Ramos will go some way towards making up for the departure of Polish striker Lewandowski to Bayern.

Ramos has this season scored 16 goals for Hertha, one less than Lewandowski, who is currently top scorer in the German Bundesliga alongside Bayern’s Mario Mandzukic.
