The Bayern Munich star has been in fine form since moving from Borussia Dortmund.
According to Polish outlet Sportowe Fakty, Bayern will reportedly look to extend the current deal of forward Robert Lewandowski in the hopes it will ward off interest from Manchester City.
Polish journalist Michael Kolodziejczyk states that the 28-year-old is set to renew his current deal until 2021.
The former Lech Poznan striker is also said to be in line for a pay rise that will see him earn £13m a season – making him the highest paid player in German football.
Since arriving at Allianz area in 2014 from rivals Borussia Dortmund on a free transfer, Lewandowski has scintillated fans with 77 goals in 113 appearances.
The Polish front man has been in great form so far this season, netting 15 goals in only 16 games so far this season for club and country including a hat-trick for Poland earlier this month.
These performances have pushed Lewandowski into the world-class bracket and been recognised by France Football, who shortlisted the Pole for the prestigious Ballon d’Or.

With the 28-year-old’s current deal running until 2019, and with questions being asked of Sergio Aguero’s future at the Etihad, it would be no surprise to see the Citizens make a move for the Bundesliga star if the Argentine left the Premier League.
It looks like Bayern could look to minimise the chance of a departure, and who could blame them?
