The striker Robert Lewandowski is "going to Manchester United" and the midfielder Jakub Blaszczykowski "somewhere in England", according to the Poland manager Franciszek Smuda.
"In my opinion, in a moment they will be gone from Borussia Dortmund," Smuda said. "Lewy is going to Manchester United, Jakub also somewhere in England, Lukasz Piszczek to Real Madrid. They have a goal and they want to grow."
Smuda revealed the possible summer destinations of the Dortmund trio when discussing a totally different topic. The manager said he would rather turn a blind eye to his players enjoying "bunga bunga" than allow them to drink alcohol.
Smuda, whose side had the honour of opening Euro 2012 against Greece in Warsaw, has a strict no-alcohol policy and in April dropped Slawomir Peszko after the midfielder ended up in police custody following a night of drinking.
"It's better to have bunga bunga than to abuse alcohol," Smuda was quoted as saying by Polish daily Dziennik Gazeta Prawna. "Alcohol just blows my fuse."
"Bunga bunga" refers to the name that the former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi bestowed on the wild parties he allegedly held at his villas.
The Fiorentina goalkeeper Artur Boruc and the Legia Warsaw defender Michal Zewlakow have also fallen foul of Smuda's anti-alcohol crusade.
"If I gave players the impression that I'm a pushover, jelly or pudding, we would be done for. You can't show that," Smuda said.
