Robert Lewandowski's future at Bayern Munich still hasn't been resolved, with the Polish international gearing up for pre-season.
The 33-year-old has previously made his intentions to leave Bavaria this summer clear, with a move to Barcelona expected to happen.
However, the Blaugrana's financial issues have meant they haven't been able to agree a deal with Bayern as of yet.

This has led to both Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain viewing the potential of hijacking Barca's plan to sign him this summer. BILD's Christian Falk revealed that PSG will get involved if Lewandowski doesn't join Barcelona, with Chelsea also ready to engage in negotiations.
Falk has reported that the former Borussia Dortmund striker would prefer a move to either PSG or Chelsea rather than stay at Bayern.
However, BILD's Heiko Niedderer has shared a video of Lewandowski arriving in Munich, with Bayern set to leave for their pre-season tour of the United States early next week.

Furthermore, Bayern's pre-season training starts on Tuesday 12 July, suggesting that Lewandowski may have returned to Munich to participate.
Unlike fellow forward Cristiano Ronaldo, who has missed all of Manchester United's pre-season action so far after asking to leave the club, citing personal reasons, Lewandowski may be present at Bayern's first session ahead of the new season.
Lewandowski to leave Bayern?
The player publicly expressed his desire to leave Bayern Munich earlier this summer, with Barcelona the club he wants to land at.
The Polish international revealed his “era at Bayern has come to an end” while on duty with his country, in a press conference that angered the fans who used to cheer for him.
However, while a move away is still likely, he may well turn up for Bayern's pre-season training, which could suggest he's now open to the idea of staying at the club.
