BAYERN MUNICH are demanding a fee of £52million to sell Robert Lewandowski, according to reports.

Lewandowski, 33, has been vocal about his desire to leave the German Champions this summer as he enters the final year of his contract with them.

The most heavily linked club to the Polish striker is Barcelona, while Chelsea and Manchester United among others have also seen their names brought up over a possible transfer.

Lewandowski scored 50 goals in 46 games last season and has seemed to only get better with age.

While movement on his departure remains at a slow pace, the Bavarians have wasted no time in bringing in his replacement in the form of ex-Liverpool star Sadio Mane.
