Man United 'preparing summer move for Robert Lewandowski'

Manchester United plan to move for Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski during this summer's transfer window, according to a report.

Manchester United are reportedly planning a move for Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski during this summer's transfer window.

The 33-year-old has entered the final 18 months of his contract at Allianz Arena, and there has recently been a host of speculation surrounding his future with the Bundesliga champions.

Bayern CEO Oliver Kahn said that the club would soon be sitting down for contract talks with the Poland international, but the centre-forward recently said that he was "open to everything" regarding his future.

A whole host of clubs, including Chelsea, Manchester City, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Real Madrid, are said to be keeping a close eye on the situation at Bayern.

However, according to Bild, the strongest interest is arriving from Man United, with the Red Devils lining up a summer bid for Lewandowski.

The 20-time English champions will lose Edinson Cavani on a free transfer this summer, while Cristiano Ronaldo is said to be determined to leave Old Trafford in the upcoming market.

Lewandowski has again been in brilliant form for Bayern during the 2021-22 campaign, scoring 42 times and providing four assists in 35 appearances in all competitions, including 12 goals in eight Champions League outings.
