Polish striker Robert Lewandowski has long expressed his desire to leave his current club, the German champion Bayern Munich, as he is eyeing a move to Spanish giants Barcelona. However, the transfer is yet to materialise due to Catalan's budget limitations. For Barca to sign the Pole, it will need to sell some of its players and reduce its wage bill, as it is in the process of the same. However, should the move fall out due to unforeseen circumstances, English giants Manchester United are reportedly waiting in the wings to hop on for him. Or, he could also choose to remain a season with the Bavarians, having a year of his contract valid.

Apparently, Lewandowski's representatives have received quite some interest from the English Premier League (EPL) after Bayern mentioned that it would not sell him for free. Although the Pole might need pay of around £400,000/week, United would not be bothered by it. Also, some of his family members are United fans, having worked in Manchester, while he was linked to a move to Old Trafford in 2012.

Also, reports suggest that Chelsea wants to sign Lewandowski to replace Romelu Lukaku. At the same time, it can also offer the Pole UEFA Champions League (UCL), unlike United, which would play the UEFA Europa League (UEL). The Red Devils desperately need a central striker, with its target Darwin Nunez joining Liverpool, while RB Leipzig will not sell Christopher Nkunku, and desperately hope that he does not head to Barcelona.
