Agent offers Man Utd, Chelsea chance to sign €200m Bundesliga star

Manchester United and Chelsea have reportedly been offered the chance to sign a €200m Bayern Munich star this summer.

According to the latest reports from German outlet Bild, Robert Lewandowski’s agent Pini Zahavi has been offering his client around to some of Europe’s top clubs.

The likes of Chelsea, United, PSG and Real Madrid have all been mentioned as suitors for the 29-year-old – and Bild recently suggested that Bayern have named a huge asking price.

However, the former Dortmund striker would rather join Real Madrid, as his main desire is to lift the Champions League trophy at some point.

According to the German paper, the Bundesliga champions are reluctant to part company with the free-scoring striker and have stuck a £175m (€200m) fee on his head in a bid to deter potential suitors.

That would make the striker the world’s second costliest-ever player and, given his age, might well steer interested parties away off the scent.

In the season just finished, Lewandowksi scored 42 goals from just 52 games in all competitions.

Meanwhile, Thursday’s edition of Italian paper Il Corriere dello Sport claims Lewandowski is wanted by Juventus should Mario Mandzukic or Gonazlo Higuain leave Turin in the summer.
