Chelsea handed major Robert Lewandowski transfer boost as Barcelona 'easy' reality emerges

Chelsea may have been handed a big boost in their reported pursuit to sign Robert Lewandowski. La Liga president Javier Tebas, as per Marca, believes Barcelona do not have the financial power to sign the Bayern Munich striker at the moment.

The 33-year-old has just over 12 months remaining on his contract with the Bundesliga champions and could be sold when the summer transfer window opens. Lewandowski recently admitted that last weekend's 2-2 draw with Wolfsburg, where he netted his 35th and final goal of the league season, could be his last for the German outfit.

He said: "It is very possible that this was my last game for Bayern. I cannot say 100%, but it could have been. We want to find the best solution for me and the club."
