Robert Lewandowski has expressed his desire to leave Bayern Munich in the summer with reports suggesting that the striker has already agreed personal terms with the Blaugranas. However, with the Spaniards working under strict financial restrictions, they have failed to reach an agreement with the Germans.

Manchester United, Chelsea and PSG are also keeping tabs on Robert Lewandowski's situation and are ready to take advantage if Barcelona's efforts fall through.
