Already hailed as a miracle worker Klopp is ready to stun the football world with a move for the 27-year-old Pole in the summer.

If successful it would mean a double whammy for Lewandowski’s current club Bayern Munich.

Bayern were lining up Klopp as their successor to Pep Guardiola with the Spaniard considering moving on at the end of the season when his three year contract with the Bavarian greats is up.

But Bayern have been beaten to the punch by Liverpool’s decision to axe Brendan Rodgers following last Sunday’s Merseyside derby.

Now they will face a fight to keep hold of Lewandowski who has already scored 21 goals for club and country in just 14 appearances so far this season, including five against Wolfsburg.

Bayern will want at least £60 million for the player they took on a Bosman free much to Klopp’s disappointment, the German hailing the man he signed from Lech Poznan for just £3.5 million one of his greatest ever players.

Lewandowski has indicated that he would love to work under the charismatic Klopp again, especially now the 48-year-old has moved to the Premier League.

Arsenal and Manchester United are also interested in the Polish goal machine but Klopp would have a head start.

Klopp along with former Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti were both sounded out by Liverpool’s owners following a frustrating Anfield 1-1 draw with Norwich on September 20th.

The clock had been ticking on Rodgers’ reign since the devastating 3-0 home defeat against West Ham and the 3-1 surrender at Manchester United the next weekend.

When Rodgers’ side failed to beat Norwich on home soil the Boston based Fenway Sports Group decided to pull the plug, their manager effectively a dead man walking in the games against Aston Villa, Sion and finally Everton.

Having been impressed in initial talks with Klopp, Ancelotti informing them he wasn’t available until December, Liverpool were determined not to miss out especially with questions being asked about Jose Mourinho’s future at Chelsea in addition to the Bayern Munich, Pep Guardiola situation.
