The Polish forward has a deal with Bayern Munich until 2023. However, the striker wants to resolve his future in the summer. Robert Lewandowski is waiting for a new deal from the Bavarian clubs but is prepared to leave if his contract situation isn't resolved at t end of the season.

Barcelona are tipped as the favourites to sign the forward if he leaves in the summer and president Joan Laporta believes that they have a great chance of landing the Polish superstar.

The Barcelona chief was questioned by a fan outside the Nou Camp stadium: 'Joan, is Lewandowski coming or not?' to which he replied 'This one has a better chance of coming, yes.'

The Catalan giants have to work under a limited budget according to the new La Liga rules and will need to sell some players to free up the funds for the singing of Robert Lewandowski.

Bayern Munich also want the Polish international to continue with the club and are working on a new deal according to CEO Oliver Kahn. 'As of today, Robert has a contract with us for next season,. We are in contact with Robert and want him to stay at Bayern for as long as possible.' he said
