Polish striker Robert Lewandowski has been linked to a move away from his current club, German champion Bayern Munich for quite some time now. He has reportedly expressed his desire to join Spanish giants Barcelona. Although talks are underway with both clubs, any concrete offer is yet to materialise, with the Bavarians eager to attract a top bid from the Catalans. Also, the financial struggles of the latter are barring it from making a high bid. As a result, his move to Barca might eventually not materialise. However, if that happens, Lewandowski has identified an English club he could join instead.

As per a report by Caughtoffside, Lewandowski could choose English giants Chelsea if Barcelona cannot afford him. However, he is determined to leave Bayern at any cost, while the reasons for the same remain largely unknown. Also, with Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku returning to Italian giants Inter Milan on a season-long loan, The Blues have a spot to fill in the forward line-up.

The same report was confirmed by top journalist Christian Falk, who declared that French champion Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) could also enter the race. "TRUE Paris Saint-Germain are expected to get into the poker for Robert Lewandowski if the negotiations between Barcelona and Bayern would fail. Just like Chelsea. Lewandowski would prefer a Transfer to Barca or Chelsea instead of staying at Bayern @ChelseaFC @PSG_inside," he wrote on Twitter.

However, a move to Chelsea for Lewandowski is not guaranteed either, as the club has probably struck a deal with English striker Raheem Sterling. Renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano has confirmed, "Raheem Sterling has completed main part of medical tests in London yesterday, contract signed until June 2027 plus option for further season as new Chelsea player. Matter of time for the official statement. #CFC It's all signed also between clubs with Manchester City."
