Lewandowski is known as one of the most prolific goal scorers in the world, so there has never been any shortage of interest for his signature.

A number of clubs have been linked with a potential move including Arsenal and Atletico Madrid, but Barcelona are currently the frontrunners in the transfer race.

And now, according to Spanish outlet Sport, Lewandowski has his heart set on a move to Nou Camp and will do everything in his power to make it happen.

Talks between the 33-year-old’s representatives and the club opened in January, and a three to four year deal has been mentioned.

The prospect of playing under Xavi and being a part of Barcelona’s rebuild is said to be very appealing for Lewandowski.

Xavi is looking to completely revamp his squad by making some marquee signings.

The club made some key additions in January, including Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Ferran Torres, but they are still looking to strengthen this summer.

And they have been given a huge cash boost due to a lucrative sponsorship deal with Spotify.
