Chelsea are ready to launch an attack for Robert Lewandowski, thus competing directly with Barcelona for the services of the Polish bomber. The 33-year-old has already decided that he will leave Bayern Munich, and the main reason is the desire for a new challenge. Last season, the forward led the Bavarians to their 10th consecutive league title. Bundesliga.
Barcelona has long been the number 1 destination for the bomber according to sports media, but the situation is complicated. Bayern want 42 million pounds as an advance payment for Lewandowski's card, and this is quite a large amount for Barcelona, considering the financial problems of the Spaniards.
Rival European clubs know this all too well, and have already swooped for the striker's services. Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel needs experience in the forward line, and Lewandowski fits the bill well. There is still no concrete offer, but it is learned that the leaders of the London Blues are preparing their proposal. The Pole is also a better option than Cristiano Ronaldo, considering the Portuguese is 37 years old. The latter has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge this week.
Lewandowski meanwhile scored 50 goals in all competitions last season. The Pole has made no secret of his desire to leave Bayern, despite joining the team for pre-season training sessions. Last month, during the matches of the Polish national team, Lewandowski said:
"I just want to leave Bayern. Loyalty and respect are more important than work. The best thing we can do is find a solution together. They (club managers) did not want to listen to me until the end. Something inside me "died" and it is impossible to overcome this fact."
