An insight into the plans of Bayern Munich star Robert Lewandowski, should his dream move to La Liga giants Barcelona fail to come to fruition, has been provided on Saturday evening.
Links between Polish international Lewandowski and Barca have of course been rampant for several weeks now.
This comes with the 33-year-old having made public his desire to seek pastures new this summer, on the back of a prolific stint in Germany with Bayern Munich.

The Camp Nou, in turn, has long been tipped as Lewandowski’s landing spot of choice, with Barca’s mutual interest in securing a deal meaning a transfer is viewed as altogether likely to come to fruition at some point over the coming months.
As alluded to above, though, should such a move fail to materialise, then the hitman already appears to have a contingency plan in place.
As per a report from German outlet Bild, having concluded that his Bayern stint is already as good as over, ‘Lewa’ would be open to the possibility of linking up with Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain.

Not only that, but word of Lewandowski’s interest in a move to Paris has since been swiftly followed by reports in the French media that those in a position of power at the Parc des Princes are equally keen on joining forces with the Pole ahead of next season:
