Chelsea have received a huge boost in their pursuit of Robert Lewandowski, with the striker’s agent revealing that he is keen to leave Bayern Munich this summer.
The Blues have been linked with a host of strikers recently, including Juventus’ Gonzalo Higuain, but Lewandowski is reported to be their top target.
Lewandowski has been a mainstay in the Bayern side following his controversial move from Borussia Dortmund some years ago, but it appears as though his time in Germany is coming to an end.
Pini Zahavi, who only recently became Lewandowski’s representative, discussed his client’s future plans with German news outlet Sport Bild.
Robert feels that he needs a change and a new challenge in his career. Those responsible at Bayern know about it. Robert’s motives are not [about] money or a specific club, because almost all the top clubs would like to have the best striker in the world in their ranks.
Chelsea will be closely monitoring Lewandowski’s situation at the Allianz Arena, with the club understood to be keen on recruiting a top-class striker following Alvaro Morata’s shortcomings last term.
Lewandowski has also been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United, though, and Chelsea will certainly be met by stiff competition for the Polish international’s signature.
