BERLIN, Feb. 24 (Xinhua) -- Hype is growing in European media around the 29-year-old Polish striker looking for a move to Real Madrid after this season to make his dream come true.

Although the Polish international has a valid contract until 2021 with the 2017 German Champions Bayern Munich, it can't be entirely ruled out that he is seriously considering leaving next summer.

"A change of advisors that is causing big questions," the Munich-based Sueddeutsche assumed and concluded: "Why should a player change his agent if he does not intend to join a new club?"

The Berlin-based tabloid Bild told its readers "Lewandowski is thinking about Real."

Spanish media such as the Madrid-based daily sports paper "Marca" reports that Lewandowski and his new management are attempting to offer him to the Spanish giant.

Marca and other European media report Lewandowski ending his ten-year association with agent Cezary Kucharski has put top European clubs on alert.

"It has long been reported that the Polish striker is keen to move on from Bayern Munich and land one last big move of his career ahead of turning 30 in August," Marca reports.

Marca mentions the Pole will team up with Pini Zahavi as his new agent. The 74-year-old Israel-born agent is said to be one of the most influential consultants in professional football relying on strong connections to Real and several other European top sides.

Real, the Spanish paper says, are the presumed frontrunners to sign Lewandowski next summer after his change of agents. The Polish internet portal Przeglad Sportowy is quoting Zahavi saying: "We will see. It is about time I do my job."

While Lewandowski refused to comment, the latest media reports Bayern coach Jupp Heynckes called a possible departure of Lewandowski beyond his imagination. "In my opinion, Bayern is a club wanting to keep his key performers and stars. Therefore I can't imagine he would be allowed to leave," the 72-year-old 2013 treble winner is quoted in German media.

Lewandowski said that does not want to stimulate further speculations as it wouldn't be good for him to currently think about a possible move as he might lose his concentration for his current job at Bayern. Capped 91 times, the striker renewed his statements speaking about his big dream to one day win the Champions League.

Several reports speak about the strong desire of Lewandowski and a detailed career plan.

That evening back in May 2013 is said to have changed his dream into an obsession. The Polish striker was 24 years old when he lost the Champions League final with Borussia Dortmund 2-1 against Bayern Munich in Wembley.

That bitter experience is said to have caused his unbreakable determination to strictly follow a plan leading to a club regarded to be a constant candidate for winning the most important club competition in world football.

Since the Bundesliga's top scorer of the season 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 has joined the Bavarian side in 2014, the club failed to reach the Champions final being eliminated in both the quarterfinal and the semifinal by Real Madrid.

Lewandowski several times demanded new top class arrivals for Bayern to be ready to challenge the big European clubs and win the Champions League final.

Reports say Lewandowski has dedicated his life to his big dream and is one of the most disciplined footballers. According to reports, he is the first to show up at the Bavarian' s training ground and the last one that leaves. The Pole follows a strict nutrition plan based on the advice of his wife Anna, a Polish fitness specialist and former karate champion. Enditem
