He only has a year left on his current contract and has so far failed to agree an extension.

Barcelona were believed to be leading the chase to sign Lewandowski - who has scored a staggering 45 goals in just 39 games in all competitions this season.

Both Manchester United and Arsenal have also been linked with a big-money move for the star.

And Atletico Madrid are also eyeing a swoop for the hitman.
