Robert Lewandowski's future will be one of the most discussed topics in world football for the next few weeks, and while the smart money hints that he will end up joining Barcelona, another option has emerged as an alternative for the player to carry on with his playing career.
A report by The Guardian suggests that Lewandowski is ready to join Barcelona, even if he has to lower his wages to materialize the move. Nevertheless, the Polish footballer has already been told by his agents that if negotiations with Los Culés keep running into more problems, Chelsea has emerged as a suitable option to leave Bayern.
According to the English newspaper, the possibility of Lewandowski joining the Blues is "difficult, but not impossible," since Chelsea's coach Thomas Tuchel is a big fan of the striker and he would be more than happy to have Lewandowski taking over as the team's No.9 instead of Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner.
Lewandowski's arrival to the English club would prompt a domino effect within the club, since his wages would force either Lukaku or Werner to leave the club. The smart money believes that Lukaku would be the one to leave the club, as he has struggled to adapt to his role with Chelsea, but before they can sign Lewandowski, they must part ways with the Belgian ace.
So, if Barcelona's financial statements are not in order, Chelsea could end up luring the player away to the Premier League. Which of these teams would be a better fit for the Polish footballer? Let's wait and see where he ends up signing a new contract.
