Chelsea have made an audacious move to try and hijack Barcelona 's move for Bayern Munich super-striker Robert Lewandowski.
The 33-year-old marksman is determined to quit the German giants for a new challenge after shooting them to their 10th successive title. Lewandowski's capture would represent a statement signing for new Chelsea owner Todd Boelhy and an impressive response to Manchester City 's capture of Erling Haaland and Liverpool 's signing of Darwin Nunez.
Barcelona have been the Poland international's first choice for some time but Bayern - who have fought in vain to keep their prize asset - want £42million up front. With the Spanish giants' financial situation posing a problem, Chelsea and PSG have made moves to tempt Lewandowski to the Premier League and the French league respectively.
