Chelsea have reportedly approached the representatives of Robert Lewandowski over a possible transfer this summer.
According to Sky Germany, contact has been made been the
Blues and Bayern Munich about their main man.
Speculation still swirls where the sensational striker will end up
next season.
Lewandowski tried to put those rumours to bed in an interview
with Tuttosport, saying: “I have a contract at Bayern and I am very good
at this club.”
However, this hasn’t halted the talks of a move away from the
German giants.
Robert reigns as goal scoring king
Chelsea are in the search for a new centre-forward and there a few
finer specimens in football than the Polish international.
He is currently on 47 goals across all competitions this term and
recently equalled Gerd Muller’s record of scoring 40 times in a single
Bundesliga campaign.
Many of Thomas Tuchel’s squad have first hand experience of facing
Lewandowski.
The 32-year-old netted three times when Bayern played Chelsea in
last year’s Champions League knockout stages.
Ahead of the first leg, Frank Lampard gave a glowing review of
Lewandowski, admitting: “His goalscoring record and everything about him
from a distance is top class”.
Bargain buy
If the Blues were to bag the awesome attacker, they would need to
fork out €60m (£51.6m), claim ESPN.
That seems something of a steal, particularly compared to the
high-rise prices of Harry Kane or Erling Haaland.
But a written cheque might not be enough to lure Lewandowski to
England.
Sky Germany state that Spain has always been a seen as a
suitable next destination after he’s finished in Bavaria.
Plenty of changes are expected to be made before August swings
back around and Bayern’s talisman could be part of the merry-go-round.
