Chelsea asked to sign Robert Lewandowski to catch up to the Premier League’s top two
According to ESPN (h/t Express), European football expert Julien Laurens has stated that Chelsea can catch up to Manchester City and Liverpool this summer by adding Robert Lewandowski. to their ranks The Polish international’s contract with Bayern Minich will expire next year and he is willing to leave this summer.
Off the field, the first issue to resolve is the takeover, which is already in its third month since Roman Abramovich chose to sell the club. Todd Boehly’s group is getting closer to a deal after being chosen preferred bidder and met with Thomas Tuchel and Emma Hayes lately at the Cobham Training centre ahead of their FA Cup Final.
Chelsea are currently third in the table and far away from the top two, Man City and Liverpool.
The Blues are now in third place in the table, considerably behind City and Liverpool. Getting these two biggies this season appears to be impossible. However, they have been tipped by Julien Laurens to do so next season.
Do we need Lewandowski?
Laurens believes that Lewandowski would be the one that can help Chelsea catch our Premier League rivals. With his current contract scheduled to expire in 2023, the Polish goal machine has informed Bayern Munich that he will not sign a new contract.
“So is Lewandowski the answer? He’s an incredible striker. Will he go to Chelsea? Maybe. If you buy Lewandowski I think you get close to City and Liverpool.”
Lewandowski’s goals and performance for Borussia Dortmund and Bayern speak volumes about his abilities as a goalscorer. However, we must first make a decision on Romelu Lukaku’s future. Is he planning on staying? We don’t know yet, but he appears to be regaining his old form at Inter.
He’s making those runs, holding off defenders, allowing the ball to run off his shoulders, and making the job of the defenders more difficult. He seems eager to get things moving for himself and the squad.

Despite not playing to his full potential throughout, the Belgian had a chance to redeem himself by helping the Blues win the FA Cup. Unfortunately, it was not to be and Liverpool emerged victorious.
Lewandowski is another beast who is a far more reliable option upfront. He still appears greedy for goals and could prove to be an absolute banger of a signing despite his age.
