Barcelona to make final Robert Lewandowski transfer bid as Frenkie de Jong stands ground

Barcelona will launch a final attempt to sign Robert Lewandowski with a third transfer bid worth an initial £34.5million.

The Poland captain wants to leave Bayern Munich this summer, who have already rejected the Blaugrana's two previous bids. Camp Nou chiefs are now ready to make a last stand, according to Sport, with an offer of £34m plus add-ons. Barca are unwilling to go any higher given Lewandowski has entered the final 12 months of his Bayern contract and will be 34 when the new LaLiga season begins.

If Barcelona's third bid is yet again knocked back by the German champions, it would represent a double blow, as their sale of Frenkie de Jong to Manchester United has also been thrown into doubt. Despite the clubs agreeing a fee which Mirror Football understands is worth £56.1m , the 25-year-old is determined to remain in Catalunya.
