Though Robert Lewandowski is enjoying another fine season in Bavaria, with 42 goals already this season, this hasn’t stopped speculation over the Polish number nine’s future in Germany.
The striker’s Bayern contract expires in 2023 and there is said to be a number of clubs interested in taking the prolific 33-year-old Pole.
Manchester City are the initial favourites having missed out on Harry Kane last summer, with the Citizens still in the hunt for a new striker.
City only has Brazilian forward, Gabriel Jesus, as a recognised striker and he is often deployed out wide, the blue side of Manchester arguably has a greater need for a forward than their red neighbours. Not only are City a more appealing offer in terms of titles, but Lewandowski previously worked with Pep Guardiola at Bayern Munich, meaning a reunion is on the cards and Lewandowski is just 5/1 to join City.
PSG currently have one of the most star-infused forward lines of all time, boasting World Cup winner- Kylian Mbappe, the most expensive player of all time- Neymar, and 7-time Ballon d’Or winner Messi.
However, with Mbappe’s departure from PSG this summer becoming increasingly likely, they will be looking to replace the Frenchman's goals.
Robert Lewandowski is just 6/1 to join PSG, and with an expected summer clear out of fringe players such as Julian Draxler and Mauro Icardi, PSG certainly would have room in their squad for the Poland captain.
With the January departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Barcelona and the ongoing contract situation with Alex Lacazette, Arsenal are in the market for a new striker.
Although Lewandowski would fit perfectly into this exciting young Arsenal side, he is likely looking for a club that consistently achieves Champions League qualification and competes for titles.
But, he may also believe that he can be a catalyst for Arsenal’s bright future and potential successes, effectively offering a role model to the likes of Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith-Rowe
Lewandowski is priced at 8/1 to join the Gunners this summer.
Real Madrid currently sits top of La Liga, and their talismanic forward Karim Benzema, 34, is having his best season ever with 33 league goals and assists already, thus, replacing him with another ageing forward seems unlikely.
However, Real had previously expressed an interest in signing Lewandowski, though this was a few years ago. With Real closely monitoring Haaland and Mbappe this summer, a move to the Spanish capital for Lewandowski would be a shock.
The Manchester Evening News has recently reported that Lewandowski is ‘unhappy’ at Bayern Munich and a potential move to England is on the cards.
In recent years Manchester United have signed several ageing forwards, with the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimović, Edinson Cavani and most recently Cristiano Ronaldo coming to United, if the rumours are true and Lewandowski is leaving Bayern, United will surely be at the front of the queue.
Not only does Manchester United have a track record of purchasing star forwards, but with the likely departure of Cavani in the summer, Lewandowski could fit the bill for the Reds.
Another London club in need of a striker is Chelsea due to the shortcoming of their current strikers.
German striker Timo Werner and Belgian Romelu Lukaku have failed to impress at Stamford Bridge this season, with just six Premier League goals between them.
At 12/1 to join Chelsea, Lewandowski could provide the firepower often missed at the top end of the pitch for the Blues, though Kai Havertz’s recent transformation into a more regular goalscoring threat could persuade the club to stick with their current options.
