Lewandowski demands €8m from Juve and Milan
While a move to Serie A remains possible, discussions have slowed as both Italian clubs hesitate to meet his financial expectations of €8m per annum.
According to Corriere dello Sport, his agent, Pini Zahavi, has recently held meetings with representatives of Juventus and Milan, also presenting Real Madrid defender David Alaba as another option within his client portfolio.
Despite the interest, Lewandowski’s wage demands have created a significant obstacle in advancing talks.
Meanwhile, reports from Gazzetta in April suggest Milan are now considering alternative targets, including Atletico Madrid forward Alexander Sorloth, due to concerns over cost.
Barcelona have not ruled out extending the striker’s stay on a short-term deal, adding further uncertainty to his next move.
The situation remains unresolved ahead of the summer transfer window. Juventus and Milan continue to assess their options before making formal bids in the summer.
