Possible destinations for Robert Lewandowski

Chelsea

In recent times, a move to Stamford Bridge has been much touted for Lewandowski.

This move is being talked about more prominently in football circles in recent times and certainly, the chances of this move unfolding are greater in comparison to a move to PSG for Lewandowski.

Chelsea are coming off an inconsistent campaign where despite winning the FA Cup, they lacked the consistency it takes to defend the league title. At many points throughout the campaign, it was evident that Chelsea lacked the edge that a regularly scoring striker brings to the game. Despite the mid-season addition of Olivier Giroud, Chelsea have struggled to find the net and have even had to resort to deploying Hazard in a striking role.

As such, Lewandowski's move to Stamford Bridge makes a lot of sense and can be beneficial to both parties. Chelsea may well move past their attacking woes and start gunning on all fronts again while Lewandowski will play regularly for a top club in a new, challenging league- just the welcome change he needs.

The main problems with his move to Chelsea include the fact that Chelsea will not be playing in the Champions League next season- having finished 5th in the league. This is a deterrent for Lewandowski who has never won the Champions League (He played in the final for Dortmund though) and is obviously keen to win it in his career. Also, Chelsea are currently in the process of initiating construction of a new stadium. which demands a great investment. As such, Abrahimovich is rumoured to not be keen on spending lavishly for the next few summers in order to finance the construction. Case in point- Conte lamented for the entirety of this season that he was not satisfied with Chelsea's transfer activities and cited it as one of the reasons for Chelsea's struggles this season.

While the move to the Bridge is much likelier for Lewandowski than a move to Paris, it depends on whether Chelsea are willing to pay enough to secure Lewandowski's services. However, to know the move which is most likely to happen, read further on the next page!
