Robert Lewandowski ready to join Chelsea this summer

However, Lewandowski is understood to have decided that it is time for a new challenge and has set his sights on leaving the Bundesliga.

Cash-strapped Barcelona are believed to be firm favourites to sign the prolific striker, with Xavi keen to add him within his ranks from next season.

BILD reports that Lewandowski has since informed Bayern chiefs that even if the switch to the Nou Camp falls through, he would like to join Chelsea if the opportunity arose.

A move to Chelsea would be a massive boost for Thomas Tuche, who is hunting for an experienced striker after he shipped Romelu Lukaku to Inter Milan.

Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain are also thought to be monitoring Lewandowski's situation at the Allianz Arena.

Chelsea star unwilling to leave Stamford Bridge

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Chelsea forward Christian Pulisic has reportedly informed the club that he has no desire to leave despite the Blues' attempts to sell him this summer.

The Blues are looking to offload Christian Pulisic after they reportedly included him in a deal involving Juve's Matthijs de Ligt.

However, the former Borussia Dortmund star is said to be unwilling to quit Stamford Bridge and has told Chelsea chiefs as much.
