For weeks, Robert Lewandowski has been linked with a move to Barcelona. Last month, the Polish star said that his "story with Bayern was over" and it was time to move on to a different club.
And it has been no secret that Lewandowski wants to play for Barcelona.
"I have not considered any other offer than that of Barcelona," the 33-year-old said in a recent interview with OnetSport.
However, to stop him from exiting Germany, Bayern Munich have increased its asking price for the footballer and are now demanding €50 million for his transfer, Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo claimed.
Considering Barcelona's finances are in a mess, Lewandowski's current price tag isn't good news for the Catalans as they may not be able to afford him.
Barcelona's debt currently stands at more than $1.4 billion and it was the prime reason behind Lionel Messi's ouster from the club last summer.
