Juventus step up Robert Lewandowski pursuit?

Italian champions Juventus are reportedly preparing to rival Manchester United for the services of Borussia Dortmund striker Robert Lewandowski.

The Old Lady have recently been linked with a host of centre-forwards, including Edinson Cavani and Fernando Llorente.

However, they have now turned their attention to Poland international Lewandowski, according to Goal.com.

The 24-year-old's contract with Dortmund is due to expire in the summer of 2014 and the report has claimed that Juve believe an offer in the region of £20m could be enough to secure his services.

Speculation over the past few days has suggested that they will face competition from Man United.

Sky Germany suggested yesterday that the Red Devils had already struck a deal with the German champions for their striker.
