Barcelona are reportedly ready to include Sergino Dest in a deal for Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski.

Lewandowski's current terms with the German champions are due to expire in under 18 months' time, and his future has been called into question in recent weeks.

Barcelona are thought to have made significant progress in their attempts to sign the Poland international, who has supposedly already agreed personal terms with the Blaugrana.

However, the Catalans are yet to agree a fee with Bayern over a transfer, and according to Sport, Xavi's side are willing to send Dest in the opposite direction in order to avoid stumping up a €65m (£54.8m) figure.

The report adds that Bayern are keen to add Dest to their ranks, with the USA international struggling for regular starts this season over 38-year-old veteran Dani Alves.

Should Barcelona fail to secure the services of Lewandowski, Arsenal's Alexandre Lacazette has supposedly emerged as a cheaper alternative.
