Journalist Ian McGarry has claimed on the Transfer Window Podcast that Robert Lewandowski has been offered to Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City.
The well-known and well-respected journalist has reported that Liverpool, United and City all have shown interest in signing Lewandowski from Bayern Munich in the summer transfer window.
However, none of Liverpool, United or City are willing to pay what Bayern want for the 32-year-old Poland international striker.
Sky Sports reported this week that Lewandowski wants to leave Bayern and is looking for a new challenge.
McGarry said on the Transfer Window Podcast: “Lewandowski has been offered to Liverpool, to Manchester United and to Manchester City, each of whom have expressed a tepid amount of interest in the player regarding the possibility of signing him.
“However, each of them has also said that the €110 million (£94.44m) which Bayern are leaking to the German media that they would require to allow Lewandowski to leave is far too much for a player of that age.”
Lewandowski to Liverpool or Manchester City?
Liverpool do have a strong attack. Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane are quality footballers.
Salah scores goals after goals even when he is supposedly not at the top of his game.
The Egypt international forward scored 22 goals and gave five assists in the Premier League last season.
Lewandowski would certainly be a good signing for Liverpool and would give manager Jurgen Klopp a brilliant option, but the Poland international is 32 now, and the Reds are unlikely to pay much, if any, transfer fee for him.
What about City?
The Citizens need to sign a striker to replace the departed Sergio Aguero.
City are planning to make a bid of £120 million for Harry Kane, but Tottenham Hotspur do not want to sell the England international striker, according to The Times.
It is unlikely that the Premier League champions will pay over £90 million for a 32-year-old, even though the Poland international has worked with City manager Pep Guardiola at Bayern.
