Robert Lewandowski has his heart set on a transfer to one of Europe's giant clubs in the twilight years of his career, according to reports.
The Bayern Munich ace has been one of the finest centre-forwards in Europe over the last decade and he has regulary been linked with a switch to the Premier League.
Lewandowski turns 33 this Saturday but he is showing few signs of slowing up, with three goals in two appearances this season.
While the Poland international favours one final big move before he reaches the age of 35, this could prove difficult as Bayern value him at over £100million.
That's according to Sky Sports , which claims Lewandowski does not want to spoil his relationship with the Bavarian club's fans by forcing through a transfer.
The former Borussia Dortmund star has less than two years remaining on his contract and Bayern are said to be reluctant to hand him a new deal.
It will only grow more difficult to sell Lewandowksi for a huge sum as he grows older, even if he did score a stunning 41 goals in the Bundesliga last season to break the late, great Gerd Muller's record.
The report adds Lewandowski is frustrated with Bayern's reluctance to sell him at this stage, although few clubs were prepared to test the German champions' resolve.
Chelsea were the Premier League club most-heavily linked with the prolific player but Stamford Bridge chiefs chose to re-sign Romelu Lukaku from Inter Milan for a club-record £97.5million.
Lewandowski was said to have been keen on a move to the Blues and must now hope new suitors emerge over the next season or so.

Manchester City are pursuing Harry Kane with a view to wrapping a transfer before the transfer window shuts at the end of the month, while Manchester United are expected to battle Real Madrid to sign Erling Haaland from Dortmund next summer.
This could leave many of the Premier League's biggest clubs with talismanic strikers, limiting potential options for Lewandowski.
That being said, he has a close relationship with Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp and could also reunite with former Bayern manager Pep Guardiola at City, should they fail to sign Kane.
Lewandowski's former agent, Cezary Kucharski, declared a move to Real Madrid used to be the player's "big dream" earlier this year.
He added: "Spanish clubs are currently not financially strong enough to afford him and he has certainly realised in recent years that Bayern is the ideal club for him."
The financial situation surrounding La Liga sides is much the same, so a move to the Premier League could still be on the cards for Lewandowski, even if there is a lack of obvious suitors at present.
