The speculation over the future of Robert Lewandowski has intensified greatly in the past few weeks, as the Barcelona forward enters the final seven months of his contract at Camp Nou.
The veteran striker is rated very highly at Barcelona, with the forward notably scoring eight goals in all competitions this season.
However, Barcelona are also mindful of his age and salary, as he is also one of the highest-paid players on the first team.
This has led to intense speculation over his future, with recent reports linking him with a move to Inter Miami, where he can potentially unite with Lionel Messi.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has offered a fresh update on the future of Lewandowski, refuting reports linking him to Inter Miami.
It appears the Polish forward is not on Inter Miami’s radar, contrary to what has been claimed recently.

The player, for his part, remains focused on his current season at Barcelona, where he is actively competing with Ferran Torres for a place in the first team.
The veteran forward is not thinking about his departure from Barcelona right now and will only decide his future at the end of the season.
That would give Barcelona ample time to decide their own move, as they do have an option to extend the player’s contract by another season.
But as concerns continue over his age and performances, it is likely that the Catalans might look to move on and invest in the future.
Relieving Lewandowski from the wage bill, after all, could free up a significant amount of margin when it comes to Financial Fair Play.
