LONDON (The Independent) - Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain have made moves to try and sign Robert Lewandowski, as a planned move to Barcelona stalls.
While the LaLiga club remain the striker’s first choice, there is an awareness it may prove difficult to complete due to Bayern Munich insisting that they receive the entire €50mn fee up front as a consequence of Barcelona’s financial situation.
The Bundesliga champions have otherwise accepted the reality of the situation and are willing to let Lewandowski leave, meaning the 33-year-old will not need to go on strike when the Bayern squad meet for pre-season on Tuesday.
The Polish international is insistent he wants a new challenge in his career, which is why he is also considering approaches from Chelsea and PSG.
