Man City alerted to Robert Lewandowski availability and other transfer rumours

Manchester City have reportedly been alerted to the availability of Robert Lewandowski in the summer.

The 33-year-old is still well and truly among the goals at his current club Bayern Munich. He has scored a sensational 39 goals in just 33 appearances this season including nine in seven in the Champions League.

According to 90min, Lewandowski has attracted the interest of several Premier League clubs including Manchester United, Chelsea and of course City. It is no secret that Pep Guardiola has been looking for a striker since Sergio Aguero's departure at the end of last season.

The website now reports that Manchester City, Arsenal, Aston Villa and Newcastle United have all been made aware of the Polish captain's availability by members of his 'entourage'. 90 Min does add that his final destination will depend on where Erling Haaland ends up with Real Madrid interested in the Borussia Dortmund striker as well as City.

Elsewhere Blues defender Ko Itakura will reportedly only be joining Schalke if they are promoted back to the Bundesliga. The Japanese centre back is currently on loan at the 2.Bundesliga side but has no intention of staying if they fail to make it back to the top flight.

SportBILD claims that there is a €4m purchase option in the 25-year-old's loan agreement but only under the stipulation of Schalke rejoining the likes of Bayern and Dortmund. They also state that Guardiola has made it clear to Itakura that he is surplus to requirements at the Etihad.

Itakura joined Man City from Kawasaki Frontale in 2019. However, he has yet to play even a single game for City.
