Juventus officials travelled to make an offer for Barcelona man Lewandowski | OneFootball

Juventus are interested in a summer move for Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus officials travelled to make an offer to the Polish striker while he was on international duty. 

Lewandowski is in the final year of his contract at Barcelona, and there is still no clarity over whether he will renew or walk away for free. 

If he does go for the latter option, Juventus want to be in front of the queue for his signature, hence the early proposal. 

Lewandowski might be 37 years old, but he is still a lethal centre-forward capable of operating at the highest level. 

Despite a drop from previous staggering numbers, he has still managed 16 goals and three assists in 37 appearances this term.

A few niggling injuries here and there, but the former Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich ace is fit as a fiddle. He will welcome the chance to stay in a top-five European league.

Juventus pair Lois Openda and Jonathan David have been dreadful in front of goal. The Bianconeri need a serious option to lead the line, especially with the future of Dusan Vlahovic also uncertain.

However, Juventus are not alone in the race for his signature, with Major League Soccer sides also keen on snapping him up on a free transfer. 

Saudi Pro League clubs will also make offers as they look to continue boosting their global profile by signing renowned European football stars.

For Juventus, Lewandowski will be a top addition, but their fans will be frustrated by the club’s movements ahead of the summer transfer window.

Juventus risk stacking their squad with ageing players heading into the twilight of their careers.

They are reportedly set to enter the free-agent market for players such as Lewandowski, Leon Goretzka, Bernardo Silva, and Antonio Rudiger.

These are fantastic footballers in their own right, but the youngest player on that list is 31 years old.

They risk saturating their squad with players on the decline, which is never a great idea.
