The Polish striker has scored 19 goals in all competitions so far this season and is one of the top performers of Seri A this season.

Real Madrid could land the Polish attacker in January in order to add a more attacking threat to their squad.

However, the striker has previously been linked with Chelsea and Barcelona and when he was asked about his future, he insisted,

"I do feel a little like Christopher Columbus. He set out on an adventure from Genoa and the dream of any young player coming here is to use it as the starting point for a step up to a big club.

"If I continue like this, I can reach a top European team. I don’t come near him now, but I think one day I can reach the level of Robert Lewandowski.

"When you play in Serie A, it’s crucial to keep a clear head and use it for more than just scoring goals.
