Niko Kovac’s admission that striker Robert Lewandowski “toys with going elsewhere” this summer should have set bells ringing in Chelsea’s boardroom.
The Blues, Real Madrid and Manchester United are all believed to be monitoring the situation, with Lewandowski considering leaving the Allianz Arena after four years at the club.
The Bayern Munich boss is understandably keen to hold onto the free-scoring 29-year-old if at all possible.
“There’s nothing new with Robert – it’s clear that he will not leave this club because we have a top striker and we certainly do not want to relinquish him or give him away,” he told Sky Sport Germany.
