ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI has allegedly emerged as a shock transfer target for Atletico Madrid.

The 33-year-old striker has less than 18 months left on his deal at Bayern Munich.

That means that the Polish international could leave for nothing in June 2023 or, if the Bundesliga giants decide to cash in, possibly go this summer.

That has alerted both Chelsea and Real Madrid to his potential availability with both clubs being linked with the ex-Dortmund star in the past.

It has also previously been claimed that he wants to test himself in another top league while still in his pomp.

Now it has been claimed that there is a chance that the star could join Atletico.

That is according to Spanish journalist Paco Garcia Caridad, who revealed the LaLiga side’s interest on TV show El Chiringuito.

Although he did add that no negotiations have started yet, he also claimed Lewandowski’s family wanted to move to Spain.

Lewandowski remains in top form and currently has 39 goals from 33 matches in all competitions this season.

That has taken his tally to a stunning 333 goals in 362 appearances for Bayern since his arrival back in 2014.

He has been crowned Fifa’s best player for the past two years and remained non-committal on his future after helping his team win at Frankfurt over the weekend.

Lewandowski told Sky Sports in Germany: “I am open to everything. I'm quiet.

“It is important for me to be able to focus on my game, always on what can happen in the last match.

“Everything that remains to be done regarding the contracts is a secondary issue and remains in the background.”
