Chelsea join Barça in the race for Lewandowski

Robert Lewandowski's future is far from Bayern Munich. Although he has a contract until 2023, the striker has already said that he wants to leave the Bavarian club this summer and put an end to an eight-year spell. The best positioned to sign him is Barcelona, who are already making a bid for his arrival.

Both the Barça team and the player dream of his arrival at Camp Nou, but the club's financial situation is still delicate. He would be a key player in Xavi Hernandez's sporting project. However, not everything seems so easy and the Spaniards will have to face tough competitors.

'The Guardian' reported that Chelsea have joined the race for the player due to the difficulties of the operation with the Spanish club. The London team will say goodbye to the sanctions imposed by the British Government with the arrival of Todd Boehly, the new owner of the club.

Thomas Tuchel is in love with the Pole and with Real Madrid out of the race (they're focused on the arrival of Kylian Mbappe), he would not be averse to bringing him in. Chelsea will have to make a decision on Romelu Lukaku, who has not been a success on his return to Stamford Bridge, before trying to sign the Bayern striker.

After leaving Inter, the Belgian striker has scored just 15 goals in 43 appearances, starting just 28 of them. "Federico Pastorello, Lukaku's agent, last week dismissed suggestions that he would join Inter or Milan," the media outlet said. Lewandowski had already been linked with a move to London last year, but the financial limits were beyond the club's reach.
