Barcelona's Director of Football Mateu Alemany has denied that the club have an agreement in place for the transfer of Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski.
The Polish striker is under contract in Bavaria until June 2023, but having so far refused to extend his contract, speculation has arisen regarding his future in Germany.
With a potential deal for Borussia Dortmund's Erling Braut Haaland looking to prove difficult, it has been widely reported that Barcelona are monitoring Lewandowski's situation as a potential alternative instead.
Certain reports have suggested that the 33-year-old has even agreed terms with the Catalan side ahead of a potential move in the summer, but Barca's chief has rebuffed those reports.
"We don't have any agreement with the forward, that is speculation from the press that is very good for filling pages," Alemany explained in an interview before kick off against Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday.
"It isn't true. If we wanted him, the first thing we would do would be to talk to his club."
Bayern's stance remains that Lewandowski will remain their player next season, for whom he has scored 47 goals already this season.
