Chelsea open talks with Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski

Chelsea have opened talks with Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski.

Sky Deutschland says Chelsea have already sounded out the Poland international about a summer move, with the striker believed to be considering his future at Bayern.

Chelsea have notably struggled for goals this season with midfielder Jorginho their top scorer in the Premier League with seven, which have all come from the penalty spot.

Although Lewandowski has been identified as one of Chelsea's main options, their transfer chief Marina Granovskaia faces a huge battle to convince him to join with the striker understood to be favouring a move to Spain over the Premier League.

Barcelona are interested in Lewandowski but are in a difficult financial position at present, and may not have the funds available to sign him this summer.

Lewandowski is also on Paris Saint-Germain's radar, with Mauricio Pochettino making contingency plans in case Kylian Mbappe leaves.
