La Liga heavyweights Barcelona have reportedly lodged an offer worth €32 million to sign Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich.

According to a report by Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona recently tabled a bid worth €32 million to secure the services of Robert Lewandowski in the summer transfer window. But Bayern Munich swiftly rejected the offer and will demand a higher sum to part with the Polish striker.

The Robert Lewandowski saga is threatening to drag on for a few months until we reach the final days of the summer transfer window. The 33-year-old has been a legendary figure for Bayern Munich during his ongoing eight-year stint with the Bavarian giants.

But Lewandowski, on the back of another excellent season that ended with a tally of 50 goals and seven assists in 46 appearances across all competitions, wants to embark on a new adventure in the summer transfer window. And with his Bayern Munich contract expiring next year, clubs like Barcelona are sensing the opportunity to prise him away from the Allianz Arena.

Barcelona will need to sign a striker in the summer transfer window, even though Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has done well to fill the void left by Sergio Aguero’s premature retirement. The former Arsenal striker ended the 2021/22 campaign as one of Barcelona’s top scorers despite only being at Camp Nou for four months.

But the Blaugrana will not sign Luuk de Jong permanently from Sevilla, while Martin Braithwaite will likely look to end his stint at Camp Nou to join a club where he can feature prominently. Barcelona will thus have to delve into the market for a striker, with Robert Lewandowski becoming their key attacking target after it became clear that Erling Haaland was beyond their reach.

The 33-year-old wants to move to Barcelona and is pushing to seal a transfer to Camp Nou. But Bayern Munich will put up a strong resistance to keep hold of the veteran striker in the wake of comments made by several board members, who have appeared defiant in the face of the player’s desire to leave.
