Report Lewandowski given strong Milan presentation
Milan have reportedly intensified talks with the agent of Barcelona centre-forward Robert Lewandowski, who could be a free agent this summer.
It is no secret that the Rossoneri are keeping a close eye on the situation, as they are hoping to replicate the successful swoop for veteran Luka Modric when his Real Madrid contract was allowed to run down last year.
Lewandowski can still deliver for Milan
Despite the fact he will celebrate his 38th birthday in August, Lewandowski is still banging in the goals for Barcelona, finding the net 17 times with three assists in 39 competitive games this season.
His contract only runs to June 30, although it could be renewed if certain conditions are met.
According to Calciomercato, Milan have stepped up communication with agent Pini Zahavi in order to convince Lewandowski to accept a significantly lower salary.
Their ceiling is set at €7m per season, whereas the Poland international currently pockets as much as €20m at Camp Nou.
That is also a figure that MLS club Chicago Fire would be willing to pay, but Milan hope that the lure of Serie A and their likely Champions League qualification can convince him to remain.
He’d also get to be teammates with former Real Madrid rival Modric, who is finding a new lease of life in Italian football.
