Tuchel names ideal replacement for Lukaku, as Blues to steal £51M signing away from Erik Ten Hag
According to reports, Robert Lewandowski is a target for Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel as a replacement for Romel Lukaku, who is anticipated to return to Inter Milan this summer.
Lukaku is close to returning to Italy, with a season-long loan agreement the most likely outcome of his difficult second spell at Chelsea.
Tuchel has named Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski as his top priority to replace him if and when he leaves, according to ESPN.
Last season, no player in the major European leagues scored more goals than the Polish striker, who scored 50 goals for the German champions in all competitions.
However, it appears that his time in the Bundesliga is coming to an end, since he just made a statement claiming that he would be unable to stay with the team.
Since then, a number of clubs have been connected with the 33-year-old, including Barcelona and Real Madrid.
The Blues, on the other hand, are said to be interested in signing the Poland international, according to the article.
Deals for both Lukaku and Lewandowski are also said to be difficult, with’several impediments’ in the path of both prospective signings.
Since joining Bayern from Borussia Dortmund in 2014, Lewandowski has scored 344 goals in 374 appearances for the club, winning 19 trophies in the process, including eight Bundesliga crowns and the Champions League.
Chelsea have been rumored to be ready to sabotage Man United’s potential move for Ajax striker Antony Janssen.
Manchester United are apparently considering a summer offer for the brilliant young man, and are one of a handful of teams interested in securing his talents.
Erik Ten Hag is on his way to Manchester to take over as manager, and it has been reported that he wants Anthony to be the club’s first signing.
Ten Hag signed Antony to Ajax in 2020, and the 22-year-old striker scored 12 goals and added 10 assists in 33 games last season, establishing himself as one of Europe’s top wingers.
According to recent rumors, Antony’s agents have gone to Europe for talks with United regarding a £51 million transfer — and the report suggests the two parties could reach an agreement in the coming weeks.
According to reports, Thomas Tuchel is keen in sealing a deal for the dynamic Brazilian player as he seeks to bolster his attacking options.
Christian Pulisic, Hakim Ziyech, and even Callum Hudson-Odoi have failed to impress as many had hoped, and with reports that one or both of them could depart, Tuchel is apparently interested in making a bid for Antony.
