Sky: Milan ‘appeals’ to Lewandowski as post-Barcelona option – Ibrahimovic ‘strongly pushing’

Another report has confirmed that AC Milan are ready to try and sign Robert Lewandowski on a free transfer next year.

In the past few weeks there has been a lot of speculation linking Milan with a move for Lewandowski, whose deal with Barcelona expires at the end of the current season. While with the Polish national team, the striker did little to dampen the rumours, admitting to uncertainty over his future.

Lewandowski to Milan: Further confirmations

According to Sky, Milan are ‘preparing for an ambitious summer’ and will try for Lewandowski. However, it must be said that the former Bayern Munich man ‘is seriously considering retirement’ if the Catalan club do not offer him an extension.

This situation immediately attracted the attention of several major European clubs, as well as teams from Saudi Arabia, ready to make huge offers. The Milan project ‘seems to appeal’ to the 37-year-old, who hasn’t ruled out a spell in Serie A before hanging up his boots.

Milan’s sporting director Igli Tare recently approached Lewandowski’s agent Pini Zahavi to discuss a possible salary structure compatible with the Rossoneri’s finances. The club want to repeat the Olivier Giroud coup; i.e. someone with experience who provides guaranteed goals.

Zlatan Ibrahimović is ‘strongly pushing’ for this transfer. The Swede believes that Lewandowski perfectly embodies the club’s values ​​and could serve as a role model for the younger generation of Milan players, much like his own role in recent years.

No agreement has been reached yet, and discussions are only just beginning. Milan’s project – combined with the possibility of continuing to compete in the Champions League within a stable and competitive environment – is particularly appealing to Lewandowski.
