Lewandowski speaks on Bayern exit reasons
Robert Lewandowski has opened up on why he wants to leave Bayern Munich.
He told Sport.Onet: “I only want to leave Bayern. Loyalty and respect are more important than work. The best way is to find a solution together.
“Something died in me and I want more emotions in my life. An exit is the best solution for both parties.
“No other offers were even considered by me other than that of Barcelona. I want to leave Bayern, that’s clear.”
Chelsea have previously been linked with a move for the Polish attacker.
Lukaku transfer doubts for inter
Inter Milan should keep hold of Lautaro Martinez instead of bringing in Romelu Lukaku, Christian Vieri thinks.
He told FC Inter New, reported by sempreinter: “In the case of Martinez, Lukaku left and he scored more goals. On the other hand, it’s not certain that new signings will be ready right away.
“If you sell him and replace him, you may lose some goals.
“I don’t know what will happen, but allowing someone of his quality to leave is always difficult, I think you’d want to keep him for many years.
“If it’s due to a financial problem and he can bring in a lot of money, then that’s understandable. Otherwise, I’d keep him.”
Tuchel and Boehly sit-down set
New Chelsea owner Todd Boehly will meet Thomas Tuchel for crunch transfer talks this week, reports claim.
And the main topic of discussion will be Romelu Lukaku’s future, according to Football London.
Boehly’s scheduled a sit-down with Tuchel on June 9, a day before the transfer window opens.
Once those talks between boss and owner conclude, Lukaku will fly into London to have a chat with Boehly, the report added.
Luk at him go
Alex Goldberg of The Byline has shared strong opinions of Romelu Lukaku ahead of the summer transfer window.
This comes following reports from Sky Italia that Lukaku has been calling former team mates, the coach, directors and the president at Inter Milan since Christmas to try and move back to the San Siro.
Goldberg said: “The disrespect Romelu Lukaku has shown Tuchel, his teammates, the whole club of Chelsea & the fans is honestly shocking.
“No more apology videos, no more PR spins, it’s time to go and congrats because you’ve chosen to have this awful Chelsea legacy now, it wasn’t forced upon you.”
Do you agree Chelsea fans?
Put it on R-ice
Chelsea have dropped out of the transfer race for Declan Rice.
The Blues want to rebuild their midfield, but don’t want to splash the cash on Rice.
Gabriel Jesus transfer price boost
Arsenal and Chelsea have received a boost in their pursuit of Manchester City forward Gabriel Jesus.
According to Marca, Jesus and Man City agreed a long time ago that his price would be set at £43million.
This could enable both Arsenal and Chelsea to afford him this summer.
Gilmour gets career decline warning
Chelsea ace Billy Gilmour has been warned he needs to raise his game to avoid becoming an international flop like Scottish compatriot Barry Bannan.
Bannan was viewed as Scotland’s prized asset in his prime like Gilmour is now.
But after a few sub-par performances for his international side, Scotland legend Charlie Nicholas reckons Gilmour could face a career decline like 32-year-old Sheffield Wednesday star Bannan.
Nicholas said, via the Scottish daily express: “Billy Gilmour is a talented player but if he is not careful, he could end up becoming the next Barry Bannan.
“Gilmour is a tidy footballer but he has to offer more and we need to stop making him out to be our saviour. He struggled in the play-off because he didn’t get on the ball enough- and when he did it was square pass, square pass.
“Let’s hope he can make a greater impact than Bannan- another physically small midfielder who did OK for a few seasons but failed to hit the heights everyone hoped.”
Lukaku transfer doubts
Inter Milan should keep hold of Lautaro Martinez instead of bringing in Romelu Lukaku, Christian Vieri thinks.
He told FC Inter New, reported by sempreinter: “In the case of Martinez, Lukaku left and he scored more goals. On the other hand, it’s not certain that new signings will be ready right away.
“If you sell him and replace him, you may lose some goals.
“I don’t know what will happen, but allowing someone of his quality to leave is always difficult, I think you’d want to keep him for many years.
“If it’s due to a financial problem and he can bring in a lot of money, then that’s understandable. Otherwise, I’d keep him.”
Lukaku’s private messages with Inter
Romelu Lukaku has reportedly been “messaging Inter Milan since Christmas” in a bid to secure a return to the club.
According to transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, “since last Christmas Lukaku has been sending public and private messages to Inter” in a bid to clinch a two-year loan transfer.
Di Marzio goes on to claim that the forward has been “calling the directors and the coach, former team-mates and the President, ready to leave a third of his salary in London, ready to do everything he can to make the impossible possible.”
Chelsea’s Lukaku loan plan
Chelsea are reportedly willing to contribute to Romelu Lukaku’s wages to push through his loan transfer to Inter Milan.
Lukaku’s intent on a move back to Inter, but the move is in jeopardy as the Serie A side cannot afford his £200,000-a-week wages.
But Chelsea might be able to save the day by partially covering Lukaku’s pay packet, according to the Evening Standard.
However, the Blues will command a hefty upfront loan fee from Inter, the report also states.
Chelsea join Jesus transfer race

Jesus has attracted interest from Arsenal as well as Real Madrid, who have turned their focus on him after missing out on Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe.

“Then I thought: I want that too! I also have a shirt of him. Chelsea was just my club, man. Just like Feyenoord from an early age.”

Chelsea midfield options discussed

Lukaku transfer deal discussed
Romelu Lukaku’s transfer from Chelsea could be good for all parties involved, according to Glen Johnson.
He told BettingOdds: “I personally would want to go again next season and prove myself, but I feel with Lukaku that he’s had a whole season to show that sort of courage and he hasn’t.
“I can’t see anything changing next season. If he was the sort of player that can stand up and show courage next season, then I think we would have already seen hints of that.
“I can see him settling elsewhere because if he has that type of courage to bounce back in pre-season, then he should have had the courage to bounce back during his first season.
“I don’t see him bouncing back next season, so maybe a move somewhere else is best for both parties.”
Lewandowski speaks on Bayern exit reasons
Robert Lewandowski has opened up on why he wants to leave Bayern Munich.

Boehly led the consortium who purchased Chelsea for £4.25billion and he wants to reshape the hierarchy.
The Daily Mail are claiming that a former Chelsea player could be put in a position of power.
And finally, Chelsea are reportedly in pole position to sign Ousmane Dembele from Barcelona this summer.

But Roma’s ex-Chelsea striker will also be happy to be understudy to the man who is eyeing England’s all-time scoring record.
Abraham said: “I think for every player that’s the mentality you’re supposed to have — to be positive.
“Of course, we are all buzzing for Harry, we want him to smash the record and we’re always here to support him.
“Whenever I’m given a chance if I’m on a pitch with him, I’ll try and help him to get to his targets.
“But for me, it’s all about whenever you get the opportunity, to just try and grab it with two hands and just show what you are made of.”

Chelsea’s summer window depends on Marina
Chelsea’s activity in the summer transfer window could largely depend on Marina Granovskaia’s future.

Di Marzio claims that Romelu Lukaku wants to return to Inter Milan after just a year at Stamford Bridge.

Uefa eye legal action against Madrid, Barca and Juve
UEFA chiefs are confident they will be cleared to take action against the remaining Super League rebels after a landmark legal case next month.
The European Court of Justice has announced it has scheduled a two-day hearing for the case accusing Uefa of “abuse of a dominant position” by blocking the creation of the breakaway competition.
Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus were backed by the Spanish capital’s “Mercantile Court” in what was seen by Uefa bosses as an “in-house” ruling.
That court’s judgement that Uefa had no right to impose any punishment on the three rebels was subsequently overturned by a higher court in Spain.
Uefa, though, made clear it would await the outcome of the trio’s ECJ case, which will now be heard in Luxembourg on July 11 and 12, before taking its next steps.
And with Judges indicating they will give an “expedited” verdict, Uefa’s Nyon hierarchy expect to get a legal win and the green light to go after the three clubs in a matter of weeks.
