As Xavi wants to add a world-class number nine to his squad next season, Robert Lewandowski has emerged as a key target for FC Barcelona this summer.
According to many rumors, Lewandowski wants to leave Bayern Munich in the summer.
After winning everything in Bavaria, the striker wants to explore new things before hanging up his boots, and Barcelona has surfaced as an enticing option. He is, however, looking for a long-term deal.
Fichajes just provided an update on Barcelona's pursuit of Lewandowski. The club looks to want to incorporate Sergino Dest as part of the agreement to recruit the Bayern forward in order to reduce the overall cost of the transaction.

Lewandowski's current deal with FC Bayern runs out in 2023. But it hasn't stopped the Bavarians from asking a high price for the Pole, who is widely considered as one of the finest attackers in history.
Bayern Munich's valuation of Lewandowski could reach €80 million. However, Barça is hoping to cut costs by including Dest in the deal.
The American international is not a crucial element of Xavi's first-team ambitions, which explains why the club is willing to include him in the deal to recruit Raphinha from Leeds United.
It is no secret that Bayern Munich is looking for a right-back this summer to compete with Benjamin Pavard. They've set their sights on Barcelona target Noussair Mazraoui, with the club prepared to pay top dollar to capture the Moroccan international.
Dest, on the other hand, may be an intriguing choice for Julian Nagelsmann. Bayern Munich were interested in signing the American international in 2020 before he opted to join Barça.
The potential to recruit him in the summer might be pretty appealing, especially given that the 21-year-old will not cost as much as Mazraoui in terms of pay. However, with Lewandowski in the mix, it is difficult to picture the Bavarians even considering the swap deal.
