The Pole led his side to qualify for the the 2022 World Cup in Qatar after he converted his penalty in a 2-0 win over Sweden on Tuesday.
His future came into the spotlight recently as his contract runs out in the summer of 2023 and talks to extend his stay at Bayern are yet to begin.
If the Bundesliga side want a fee for him then they must sell him before this deadline. Otherwise the new masters of the 'free market' will snap him up.
According to these reports, Lewandoski has already said yes to a move to Spain and is willing to join Xavi's exciting new project.
American fullback Dest has been a target for the Bundesliga champions since his departure from Ajax in 2019. Bayern may be willing to listen to offers for Lewandowski including the 21-year-old.
Barcelona are being resurrected under Xavi
Since the arrival of Xavi as manager in November, Barcelona have reintroduced their Tiki-Taka style and played football with class and elegance. Because of this, more and more players are starting to get attracted to the club as they believe it can once again become what it was.
Lionel Messi's departure was a massive blow to their squad after he left for Paris Saint-Germain last summer. For a couple of seasons now they haven't been able to sign the best players like they used to due to wage issues.
However, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Adama Traore and Ferran Torres all joined the Spanish powerhouses from the Premier League this January. They have looked phenomenal in the games they have played. Aubameyang has nine goals and one assist in just 12 games for the club, while Torres has six goals and five assists in 15 matches.
If Lewandowski was to sign, we could see the return of one of the most frightening front three's in world football. This includes Aubameyang, Lewandowski and Ousmane Dembele, if the French winger signs a new contract. His contract expires this summer and negotiations for a new deal have failed so far.
Crazy to think that these 3 will be together at Barca next season. #Dembele #Lewandowski #Aubameyang #Barcelona https://t.co/jd0T0X48Qb
The Blaugrana have been linked to a lot of players this summer. But even if they can bring in just one of these superstars, it will surely put them in contention for the La Liga title and Champions League title once again.
