Lewandowski's contract is set to expire in 2023, and the mercurial striker has been heavily linked with a move to Barcelona.

Already, there had been multiple reports that he had agreed to join the the Catalan giants on a three-year deal when the transfer window re-opens.

But now the Bayern striker has publicly admitted that he will not sign a new contract with the Bavarians.

“I won’t sign a new contract. We have to find the best solution for both sides. I told the club that if an offer comes in, then we have to think about it - also for the club”. Lewandowski told Sky Germany.

It is also understood that a deal could be reached if Barcelona are willing to pay in the region of £25million to £35m for his services.

Italian transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano has also reported that Lewy's agent Pini Zahavi is seriously working on a deal to foster his client's exit this summer.

Lewandowski's exit from the Bundesliga champions would no doubt place him among the most decorated players in the club's history.

The Polish striker has won eight league titles and the Champions League during his eight-year stay.

He is also only behind Gerd Muller in total goals scored in the Bundesliga for the Bavarian outfit.
