The delay in Robert Lewandowski to Barcelona is music to the ears of new Chelsea owner Todd Boehly.
The Blues and Barcelona are set to be busy negotiating with each other and competing for certain targets this summer with the Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta situations threatening to cause tension between the pair. Elsewhere, both have been linked to Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha whilst Ousmane Dembele's two main options for playing football next season are most likely either with Xavi still despite being made a free agent on July 1 and Thomas Tuchel.
Bayern Munich's iconic number 9 called time on his eight-year spell with the German giants which saw the 33-year-old break records here, there and everywhere. His 344 goals in which he netted in all competitions have made him an attractive option to many of the European elite. Chelsea have always had a mooted interest in Lewandowski but the players' desire to join Barcelona has always put Joan Laporta and co in a commanding position, negotiating-wise. However, with Julian Nagelsmann's side holding out for £52million amid Barca's latest bid being rejected once more, there is still quite a way to go before the Polish international flies into Spain for his medical.
