Morata named as potential Lewandowski replacement at Bayern

Alvaro Morata has been identified as a potential replacement for Robert Lewandowski, if he were to leave Bayern Munich in the summer, according to AS.

It is believed that Robert Lewandowski is wanted by Spanish giants Real Madrid, due to their main number nine, Karim Benzema only scoring four league goals all season.

Lewandowski has hired a new agent which has only intensified the speculation linking him to the Spanish capital. This, however, means that Bayern will be looking for a replacement.

The Bundesliga giants have also been linked with Paris Saint-Germain striker Edinson Cavani and league rivals Red Bull Leipzig star Timo Werner.

But Morata has also been linked with a move to the Allianz Arena. His goalscoring form in his debut season in England has brought interest from Bayern.

Morata has scored 10 league goals so far this season as the Blues stay in the race for the top four, as well as in an FA Cup semi-final. His goals also helped Antonio Conte’s men progress to the semi-final of the Carabao Cup and the knockout phase of the Champions League.

However, if Morata were to leave, that means that the two strikers at Stamford Bridge would be Oliver Giroud and Michy Batshuayi who has scored six goals in seven Bundesliga appearances during his current loan spell at Borussia Dortmund.
