Bayern Munich star Robert Lewandowski is reportedly having serious doubts about joining Chelsea. Lewandowski is unsure of whether he can replicate his top form in the competitive English Premier League.

It is no longer a secret that the Polish star wants out of Germany this summer. The relationship between the Bavarians and their main man has deteriorated with Lewandowski holding press conferences explaining he wants to quit.

It is understood that Barcelona is his preferred destination. Barca head coach Xavi Hernandez is also interested in signing the 33-year-old but there are serious doubts about whether the club can afford his transfer.

Lewandowski currently has one year left on his contract and Bayern will be keen to cash in on him. The other club that has emerged as a possible contender is Chelsea.

The Blues are set to lose Romelu Lukaku who is keen on forcing a move back to Inter Milan. Thomas Tuchel is understood to be on the hunt for a new striker and Lewandowski fits the bill of the German coach.

However, the Evening Standard reports that Lewandowski is not ready to move to England. His former agent Cezary Kucharski said:

I always heard Robert give a childish explanation that it rains so much in England. But I think the real reason was that he didn’t think he could be as efficient as in Germany. Robert was really afraid of that.

Why Sadio Mane rejected to stay at Liverpool with Bayern Munich move imminent

Sports Brief had earlier reported that Sadio Mane is leaving Liverpool primarily because the two parties could not agree on a new wage for Senegal forward, it has now emerged.

The 30-year-old’s six-year spell at Liverpool is set to come to an end after Liverpool finally caved into Bayern’s latest offer for the talented forward.

As reported by football insider Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool will receive £27.5million up front for Mane, and up to £7.6million in add-ons based on Mane’s individual performances and milestones for Bayern.
