# Manchester City line up sensational swap deal?

[![lewandowski.jpg](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/FAS115-23_2013_195049_high.jpg)The Express](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/410543/Manchester-City-back-in-Pole-position-for-Dortmund-s-Robert-Lewandowski) today suggests that Manchester City want to replace Carlos Tevez with Borussia Dortmund striker Robert Lewandowski and are willing to offer Edin Dzeko in a cash plus player deal.

Tevez yesterday sealed a reported £10 million move to Juventus and City are now looking for a world class replacement for the Argentine forward.

Scouts from the Etihad Stadium were watching the Polish forward last season and the club had approached the German side over a possible transfer but were told he had made his mind up to join Bayern Munich this summer.

However Dortmund have now decided to take a hard line and have insisted that they will not sell another quality player to their fierce league rivals following Mario Gotze’s controversial switch to the Allianz Arena.

Now the 24-year-old Pole is ready to force a move by telling the Westfalenstadion-based club he will depart on a free transfer when his contract expires next season which could see Dortmund cashing in on Lewandowski this summer.

Manchester City hope that by offering Dzeko – who is surplus to requirements at the Etihad Stadium – they could tempt the German side into selling their star striker to the former Premier League champions.

### Will the lure of Dzeko prove enough to help bring Lewandowski to the Etihad Stadium? Rate this rumour below.
