Real Madrid have not dropped their interest in Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski.

Real president Florentino Perez has long admired the Poland international, well before he left Borussia Dortmund for Bayern.

Marca says Lewandowski is back on Perez's agenda - and with the support of coach Zinedine Zidane.

With Real's attack in need of renewal, Perez is now exploring the prospect of tempting Bayern into finally parting with Lewandowski.

And such a move could be on with the striker angering Bayern management this season with two outbursts criticising the club's transfer policy.

It's suggested Perez is seeking encouragement from Lewandowski's camp in the coming weeks as he also has a deal on standby for Inter Milan striker Mauro Icardi.
