Former Real Madrid and Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is in advanced talks to become the next head coach of Turkish giants Fenerbahce. And it appears that the Portuguese tactician wants to raid Barcelona for a player this summer.
With his arrival imminent, speculations about who the iconic manager intends to sign at the club are already doing the rounds.
Mourinho wants Lewandowski
Now, SPORT reports that Mourinho has his sights set on a swoop for Barcelona superstar Robert Lewandowski once he is officially announced as the Fenerbahce manager.
Furthermore, it is further claimed that the club president Ali Koç has reportedly approved the request, although he has also made it clear that he is fully aware of the difficulties involved in making such a transfer happen.
After all, Lewandowski has made it abundantly clear that he is not looking to leave Barcelona in the summer.
The 35-year-old has been linked with an exit at times, mostly due to his wages which are set to rise to €32 million for next season.
Furthermore, former manager Xavi Hernandez also wanted the Poland captain out of the club is he felt that things needed a change in attack.
However, with Hansi Flick now taking over the reins of the team, Lewandowski is now set for a prominent role in the team next season.
In fact, the 59-year-old tactician is confident that he can take the striker back to his best form in the coming season.
As such, a move for the former Bayern Munich goalscorer looks extremely unlikely for Fenerbahce, who are dreaming big with Mourinho.
