Real Madrid are reportedly preparing a "big sum" bid for Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski, according to Sky Sports, with the Spanish giants well aware the Poland international has no buyout clause and the six-time defending German champions are under no pressure to sell.
The 29-year-old has told teammates that he wants to join Madrid, Sky writes, as part of a strategy to pressure Bayern into a sale.
Meanwhile, in Madrid, it's reported that Los Blancos will help fund this move by offloading Gareth Bale, although the Welshman is said to have no interest in leaving the Bernabeu.
Lewandowski is one of the best goalscorers in football, and with that in mind, there's no doubt Madrid would have to break the bank to sign him.
