The Polish international has been pencilled in for meetings with both Bayern Munich, and Borussia Dortmund.
Barca head coach Hansi Flick will also reunite with the former, after his trophy-laden managerial stint in Bavaria.
Turning attentions towards Real Madrid, meanwhile, an even more personal clash has been put in front of new Blancos signing Kylian Mbappé.
This comes with the France international having been pitted against an LOSC Lille squad containing none other than his younger brother, Ethan.
