Whilst other clubs such as Manchester United, Chelsea and Paris Saint Germain were reportedly in negotiations for the Polish striker, it appears that, as so often is the case, Madrid will be getting their man.
Well, their man until Neymar and Harry Kane are available, if the rumours are to be believed. Lewandowsi is believed to be the preferred option at this stage as he is considerably far more affordable than the Spurs hitman and the mercurial Brazilian, who only joined PSG this summer. He is also a proven goalscorer, both at club and international level, notching an impressive 51 goals in 91 appearances for Poland, and 174 goals in the Bundesliga to date, after only 252 appearances.
The move will likely spell the end of Cristiano Ronaldo's preferred attacking partner Karim Benzema's time at Real, who has been at the club since 2009, and could even impact on Gareth Bale's future, who could be used to balance the books (only as much as Madrid need to, of course) and has long been rumoured to return to the Premier League.
Lewandowski memorably scored a scarcely believable five goals in only nine minutes against Wolfsburg back in 2015, and it is definitely the best way to spend your coffee break watching in full.
