Real Madrid could go after Bayern Munich striker, Robert Lewandowski, who was previously linked with a move to the Spanish giants. The Polish forward has been in spectacular form once again this season for Bayern Munich.
According to OkDiario’s Eduardo Inda, Madrid could make a move for Lewandowski and offer either Gareth Bale or Luka Jovic in exchange. The report states that the Spanish club could make the move in the January transfer window.
Lewandowski has been a prolific goalscorer in Germany with both Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich. The Polish forward has scored 209 goals in 255 games for Bayern Munich since joining from Borussia Dortmund in the 2014 January transfer window.
The 31-year-old striker has been in phenomenal form this season, scoring 18 goals in 13 games for Bayern in all competitions.

He could very well eclipse his tally from last season of 40 goals in all competitions, or even his highest tally in a season of 43 goals which he achieved in the 2016-17 season.
Lewandowski signed a new contract with the German giants earlier this year, extending his contract to 2023.
Is Lewandowski the player Real Madrid need?
