Real Madrid ready to pay €40 million for Robert Lewandowski

Lewandowski has been in impeccable form for Bayern Munich ever since arriving at the Allianz Arena more than seven years ago. The 33-year-old has shown no signs of slowing down, which has caught the attention of Real Madrid.
Los Blancos are hoping to lure Haaland away from Borussia Dortmund. The Norwegian is Real Madrid’s preferred target for the No.9 role next summer.

The Poland international’s current deal with Bayern Munich expires in the summer of 2023. Lewandowski is yearning for a fresh challenge after winning everything on offer with the Bavarians. The 33-year-old has registered 320 goals and 67 assists in 350 appearances for the Bundesliga giants.
Real Madrid believe they can get a few good years out of Lewandowski, and want to take him to the Santiago Bernabeu next summer. Bayern Munich value the player at €40 million, an amount Los Blancos are willing to pay.
