Bayern Munich are eyeing Chelsea centre-forward Romelu Lukaku as a potential replacement for Robert Lewandowski this summer, it has been claimed in Italy.
Lewandowski has one more year remaining on his contract with the Bavarians, but is keen to leave the club this summer. The Poland international has reportedly set his eyes on joining Barcelona ahead of the 2022-23 season.
Bayern Munich have been adamant that Lewandowski will fulfill his contract with them despite his desire to leave. The 33-year-old and his agent Pini Zahavi, though, have burned their bridges with the Bundesliga giants in recent days.
Julian Nagelsmann's side could thus be forced to sanction a move for Lewandowski this summer. They are now preparing for life without the striker by identifying potential replacements for him.
According to Italian outlet Tutto Mercato Web, Chelsea frontman Lukaku has emerged as an option for the Bavarians. The 29-year-old's name is said to be at the top of the club's transfer wishlist to replace Lewandowski.
Bayern Munich are considering offering Lukaku a three-year deal at the Allianz Arena, as per the report. They are tipped to discuss the possibility of signing the Belgium international in the coming days.
Apart from the German side, Inter Milan have also been credited with an interest in re-signing Lukaku. The Nerazzurri remain interested in acquiring the forward's services this summer.
However, Bayern Munich are in a much better financial position to strike a deal with Chelsea if the report is to be believed. It now remains to be seen if they will step up their interest in Lukaku with a formal offer in the coming days.
Lukaku has struggled for form at Chelsea
Chelsea re-signed Lukaku from Serie A giants Inter Milan ahead of the 2021-22 season. The Blues paid £97.5 million for his services, making him the most expensive signing in their history.
Many believed Lukaku's return would make Thomas Tuchel's side genuine Premier League title contenders. However, the Belgium international struggled to replicate his Inter Milan form at Stamford Bridge last season.
Lukaku made 44 appearances across all competitions for the Blues last campaign, but struggled to cement his place in Tuchel's preferred starting XI. He found the back of the net 15 times and provided two assists in those matches.
The centre-forward has a contract with the London giants until 2026. However, it remains to be seen if the club will stand in his way if he receives a good offer this summer.

them how come the midfielder scores, so not forget Mason Mount scores 10 goals + 11 assists and he's not the only with assists in Chelsea this season. now the question is who are those ones scoring those assists and how did they scored them? or was it the goalkeeper they were passing the ball back to that scores those assists. you better be sure of what you want to say before you comment.
the problem is they don't work for strikers instead they will like to score on their own, there is something we call team work, don't see the way Madrid team are working for Benzma, look lawandoski, they work for them, even when lukaku was at inter, the team always works for him, but interns of Chelsea, everyone will want to score

don't worry another striker will come in, we will still complain, have you forgotten that when drogba was playing Lampard, ballack, jole Cole, so many creative MF, even when coats, we have fabregas, hazard, mata, matic, but since those people left Chelsea haven't see players like them
Most of the strikers we signed weren't even good fits for the PL. We had Tammy Abraham who was playing well but guess what? We never backed him enough. And then paid a fortune for Lukaku only to regret it because his attitude stinks.

i wish Lukaku should go to Bayern, he will surely perform even more than inter Milan, that's when Chelsea will understand that's real problem in the team, every striker that perform well at their different club whenever they come to Chelsea, the MF and average players will make him flop by playing back pass to the keeper, the pass Chelsea players give to the keeper is always more than the pass they pass to their strikers get during match, now tell me how the striker will perform, when the striker decided to go back and fight for ball, that's when the players will play long pass to the extent that the striker can't be able to control it

There's a big difference between the PL and the Bundesliga. In the Bundesliga, defenders are awful and they leave acres of space for forwards to run in behind but in the PL, you simply don't get so much of space. I don't care if Lukaku joins Bayern and flourishes. He's not a good fit for Chelsea. We need a better striker.
Tell him bro

you've got to be kidding me, mata played with Costa at Chelsea? teams will die to have Kovacic and Kante, who told you Chelsea don't break defense, they create chances in high numbers but a poor striker will not make their efforts count, Madrid won't be in final if Lukaku had scored the two golden chance he got when introduced, so don't bring that
So the likes of Giroud and Costa and even Tammy who performed better with even less playing time where all playing for the women team right?

keep shut bro what midfield? Chelsea has one of the best midfield is Europe, striker has always been Chelsea problem, Costa matched what Chelsea wanted only that he fell out with conte and every team will so what the coach wants, Lukaku is another player, his game, style of play is different from Chelsea style of play, Tuchel never wanted Lukaku, Chelsea board chose lukaku because of fear of spending 100m+ of Haland and he will now fail, so they thought lukaku has premier league experience which is why they go for him, they never thought of the coach's style, he could go to Bayern Munich and score goals, we a know how other league's defenders play compare premier league
