Juventus have emerged as the frontrunners to sign Robert Lewandowski in Italy, but a face-to-face meeting with the Polish striker’s agent Pini Zahavi has yet to take place, leaving the situation unresolved as the Barcelona forward continues to weigh up his options.

According to Fabrizio Romano, via CalcioMercato, Juventus have established a degree of priority over AC Milan through intermediary contacts with Zahavi, though the in-person meeting that will determine whether Italian clubs have a genuine chance remains to be scheduled.
Milan had moved first, attempting to replicate the kind of deal that brought Luka Modric to Serie A, but Juventus have since overtaken them in the race.
Lewandowski collecting all offers before making decision amid Juventus links
Lewandowski’s contract at Barcelona expires on June 30, making him a free agent, though the club retain a renewal clause in the agreement. Barcelona have so far respected an informal understanding that they would negotiate with the player before activating it rather than impose the option unilaterally.
The Poland international and his family are understood to want to gather all available proposals, including any renewed offer from Barcelona, as well as approaches from Chicago Fire and clubs in the Middle East, before making what is described as a life decision as much as a footballing one.
A resolution is not expected until after Barcelona have officially wrapped up their Liga title challenge.
