Barcelona proposed a one-year extension at roughly half his current salary, with a reduced role implied alongside their plans to sign a new primary striker.
Lewandowski has not accepted. Zahavi was spotted in Italy in recent days — including at San Siro for the Milan-Juventus match — conducting preliminary soundings with Serie A clubs.
Juventus have shown the clearest intent. Reports from Gazzetta dello Sport and La Stampa confirm talks have taken place and that there is a mutual openness to a deal, though the financials remain a sticking point.
Lewandowski's camp are seeking a two-year contract worth between €8 and €10 million net per season plus bonuses — substantial demands for a player approaching 38, even on a free.
From Spain, there are reports suggesting Lewandowski currently views Juventus as his most realistic and appealing option — ahead of AC Milan, who are also monitoring him alongside other striker targets including Alexander Sorloth.
The condition is non-negotiable on his side: Champions League football. Juventus must qualify for next season's competition for the deal to have any chance of materialising.
Milan-Juventus is therefore not just a rivalry clash — the result of that race for the top four could directly shape which club Lewandowski chooses, if he chooses Serie A at all.
The other competing destinations are the Saudi Pro League and MLS. Chicago Fire are reported to have tabled an offer worth €20 million per year, though Lewandowski has indicated the American league is not his preference.
