Real Madrid are closing in on Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski, Spanish press has reported.
Los Blancos have been pursuing the signing of the Poland international for a couple of years, and now that Pep Guardiola is leaving Munich, they believe they can finally convince Lewandowski to take a new step in his career.
Apparently, there is a high competition to sign Lewandowski. Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly offer the 27-year-old a contract worth 15 million euros per season, three more than Los Blancos and five more than Bayern.
Manchester United are also interested in the striker and are reportedly planning to offer Bayern 70 million euros next summer. Yet, the Germans plan to convince Lewandowski to stay by bringing Carlo Ancelotti to replace Guardiola.
Yarmolenko, another option for Los Blancos
The latest Real Madrid transfer rumours also include Dynamo Kyiv Andriy Yarmolenko becoming a target for Los Blancos. The 26-year-old has a buy-out clause of just 25 million euros and is one of the most sought-after strikers in Europe. Chelsea, Barcelona and Manchester United have reportedly shown an interest in signing him. Los Blancos might seek to bring sign him in January, although the player would most likely stay in Kyiv on loan for the rest of the season.
Meanwhile, Spanish football magazine Don Balon has reported Valencia are interested in signing Los Blancos defender Pepe. The Portugal international has recently extended his contract with Los Blancos until 2017, but Real would be open to letting him go given his age. Yet, Valencia will have to make a good offer to convince Florentino Perez.
