Barcelona have been interested in signing Robert Lewandowski since the end of last season and even the striker has expressed his desire to join them. However, the Catalan outfit are yet to reach a complete agreement with Bayern Munich.

The Blaugranas are working under strict financial restrictions from La Liga and are looking to meet Bayern Munich's demand by paying the asking price in instalments. Barcelona are expected to propose a new bid in the coming days for the 33-year-old goal-scorer.

It is understood that Bayern Munich had rejected the Catalans' initial bid of €32m plus €5m in variables and are firm on their asking price. Barcelona are hoping that the Bundesliga side will lower their demands and are set to propose an improved offer of €40m plus variables for the Polish striker.
