Barcelona have been given a boost in their hopes of a sensational deal to sign Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski this summer.
Lewandowski has reportedly told the Bundesliga giants that he 'won't sign a new deal' as he has already lined up a new club as Polish television channel TVP Sport claim Barca are in the driving seat to secure the player’s signature. The 33-year-old striker is out of contract at Bayern in the summer of 2023 and the club are keen to avoid losing him as a free agent.
Last month, Bayern CEO Oliver Kahn poured cold water on the suggestions that the Poland international would be leaving the club as he comes closer to entering the final 12 months of his contract. That prompted Barca boss Xavi to address the transfer rumours directly about the forward, who has scored a remarkable 49 goals so far this term and has surpassed the 40-goal landmark in seven successive seasons.
