Manchester United have reportedly been handed a boost in their attempts to sign Bayern Munich centre-forward Robert Lewandowski during this summer's transfer window.
The Poland international's contract at Allianz Arena is due to expire in June 2023, and he could seek a move away from the club this summer if he does not sign a new deal in the coming months.
Barcelona have been strongly linked with the striker, but according to ESPN, the deal would be difficult for the Catalan outfit due to their ongoing financial problems.
The report claims that the form of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and return of Ansu Fati from injury also means that Xavi's side are happy with their attacking options at this moment in time.
Man United are also said to be weighing up a summer move for Lewandowski, and the Red Devils could now potentially have a free run at signing him.
The 33-year-old has again been in excellent form at club level during the 2021-22 campaign, scoring 45 goals and registering four assists in 39 appearances in all competitions.
The 20-time English champions are expected to move for a new striker in the upcoming market even if Cristiano Ronaldo stays at the club for another season.
