Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has in mind a pretty clear plan for the Blues' attack next season. The German coach wants to remove Romelu Lukaku, and bring Bayern Munich star Robert Lewandowski to Stamford Bridge. This is the sensational news published by the prestigious ESPN, however, transfer is not a simple operation.
Lukaku is keen to leave the Londoners, after a rather poor season in the Premier League. The Belgian striker wants to return to Italy at Inter, and the latter are ready to welcome the player back to the San Siro. But the financial aspect of the move is complicated. This is because Chelsea wants to recover as much as possible of the 115 million euros they spent on Lukaku's card last year. Inter meanwhile are interested in a loan deal.
Although talks between Chelsea and Inter are still ongoing, it is unclear whether the potential deal will include the option of Inter buying Lukaku's final card. Also, the ,300,000 XNUMX-a-week salary the Belgian currently receives in London is another delicate point that can ruin work.
Meanwhile regarding the interest in Robert Lewandowski, coach Tuchel has always been a fan of the Polish bomber. The striker himself has confirmed his desire to leave Bayern, and thinks he can shine in the Premier League. The 34-year-old has been heavily linked in recent weeks for a transfer to Barcelona for the figure of 40 million euros. But the inability of the Spaniards to find the funds seems to have stopped the operation. In this situation, Tuchel has communicated to the Chelsea management the confirmation to enter the race for Lewandowski's services. However, success in this objective will depend very much initially on Lukaku's departure, as well as on Barcelona's determination to bring the Bayern striker to the Camp Nou.
