Diario AS claim Lewandowski, whose dream has always been to play for Real Madrid, already has offers on the table from Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain.
The 32-year-old centre-forward has a contract with Bayern until 2023. The Bundesliga champions are reluctant to sell their prolific goalscorer this summer, the report adds.
Lewandowski has been unstoppable for Bayern, especially in the last two seasons where he has plundered 103 goals across all competitions combined. Thus, it comes as no surprise that a number of elite European clubs are ready to make their move.
Manchester City are one of the clubs interested in the Pole, as manager Pep Guardiola aims to replace Sergio Aguero before the new season commences. Aguero’s departure on a free transfer to Barcelona has left a huge void in the squad, which Guardiola needs to fill in by hook or crook.
The Cityzens wish to sign Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane to replace Aguero but very well know the premium they’ll have to pay to bring him to the Etihad Stadium. As an alternative plan to Kane, the English champions can definitely try out for Lewandowski.
