A report from the Spanish newspaper 'SPORT' revealed that Atlético Madrid's coach, Argentine Diego Simeone, is one of the biggest fans of Polish striker Robert Lewandowski, the star of Barcelona, who has recently been linked with a surprising transfer to the Rojiblancos.

Lewandowski's contract with Barcelona ends at the end of the current season, making him free to negotiate with any club starting from next January, while the Catalan club is not currently considering renewing his contract.

Diego Simeone believes that the experienced striker's expertise and goal-scoring ability could provide a strong addition to Atlético Madrid's attack if the potential deal succeeds.

Lewandowski has been linked with leaving the Catalan team amid interest from several clubs, most notably clubs in the Saudi league.
