The agent of Robert Lewandowski has hinted that the in-form Bayern Munich striker could be interested in a move to Real Madrid next summer.

The Pole has been in brilliant form for Pep Guardiola's side this season, with 19 goals in 17 matches so far, adding another two in a friendly against Iceland on Friday.

With Karim Benzema's future at the club now looking more cloudy after his involvement in the alleged Mathieu Valbuena blackmail case, Real Madrid are looking for a replacement. Cristiano Ronaldo's future is also unclear with president Florentino Perez previously reported to be unhappy at the attitude of his star player.

According to Spanish newspaper Marca, Perez is not yet ready to get rid of Benzema, but both Lewandowski and Juventus striker Alvaro Morata are increasingly seen as replacements.

The paper state that Real have made two previous informal approaches for Lewandowski, 27, once while he was still at Borussia Dortmund and also last summer.

But Lewandowski's agent, Cezary Cucharsky, has further complicated the situation for Bayern.

"You cannot deny that there is interest from Real Madrid," he said.

Lewandowski has also admitted that he is learning Spanish but said: "There has been no contact over the past few months."
