Chelsea look set to swoop in and welcome Robert Lewandowski to Stamford Bridge if the Bayern Munich star's dream Barcelona move fails to materialise. The 33-year-old has been heavily linked with an exit from the Bundesliga champions this summer and, while a switch to Stamford Bridge isn't the striker's preferred destination, a transfer to west London is still on the cards.
According to the Daily Star, Chelsea are plotting a bid for the Poland international if a move to the Camp Nou falls through. The Spanish giants' well-documented financial issues continue to hamper Xavi's freedom in the summer window, and such could determine as to whether Barcelona can sign Lewandowski.
He featured 34 times for the German giants in the Bundesliga this season, directly contributing towards 39 goals. Despite his age, Lewandowski's impressive displays steered Bayern to a tenth successive title, attracting attention from a host of leading European sides.
