Manchester City are on the hunt for Sergio Aguero’s replacement and AS surprisingly say Robert Lewandowski is on their radar.
The report from Spain suggests City, Chelsea, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are among the interested parties, claiming Lewandowski is open to a change this summer, but it’s hard to see this being true.
The 32-year-old has two years left on a four-year deal signed in 2019 and is in the form of his life at Bayern Munich. The Bundesliga champions have no intention of selling Lewandowski either, so clubs will be knocking on deaf ears if they try to put forward a proposal.
AS believe the Polish international is open to a fresh challenge after seven years at the Allianz Arena after he admitted being “still open-minded”, but he added: “I feel good at Bayern, the city is magnificent, it’s a great club,” so he’s more likely to stay.
Bayern have slapped a £69m price tag on the striker with 525 goals for club and country, but they won’t want to let such an important player leave. Lewandowski bagged 41 Bundesliga goals last season as Bayern won their 9th consecutive league title, so he’s irreplaceable.
