One of the top strikers in the world currently plays in the Bundesliga. Robert Lewandowski has consistently been one of the top goalscorers in the globe over the past few years.
Is it possible that he could be looking for a move to the Premier League this summer? Bayern Munich will assuredly want to do everything in their power to keep hold of their talisman.
But if Robert Lewandowski were to push for a move to the Premier League it would immediately catch the attention of quite a few clubs.
We’ll be taking a look at the possibility of Robert Lewandowski transferring to the Premier League and which clubs to keep an eye on.
Why would Robert Lewandowski be looking to leave Bayern Munich?
One possibility for Lewandowski looking to leave Bayern is that he’s basically won everything he could possibly hope to win in the Bundesliga.
While in Germany he has won the Bundesliga title 7 times, the DFB-Pokal 3 times, the DFL Supercup 4 times, and the UEFA Champions League 1 time.
On top of that, he has won the Bundesliga golden boot award 5 times in total. It’s entirely possible that at the age of 32 he could be looking for a change of scenery and to try to make his mark in another country.
Another possibility for Robert Lewandowski’s departure is his contract situation. There have been a few rumors that he is looking for a mega-deal and Bayern Munich may be wary of giving that to a 32-year-old, even if he is still one of the best in the world.
Although it is unlikely that Bayern Munich would want to sell, it is possible that Lewandowski could decide to force their hand if he so chooses.
What Premier League clubs would be interested in Robert Lewandowski?
The short answer is that every Premier League club would be interested in bringing in Robert Lewandowski as their new striker.
But delving in a little bit deeper, there are probably 3 clubs that have the financial willpower and a need for a new number 9 this summer.
The first club is obviously Manchester City. They have a glaring need for a striker after announcing that this season would be the last for Sergio Aguero.

While they have been quite successful in playing without a true striker, it would still be a smart idea to bring one in if the opportunity arises.
Without Aguero, Manchester City will be left with Gabriel Jesus as the only true striker in their squad.
The second club that could show interest is Manchester United.
While they just recently announced that Edinson Cavani would be renewing their contract it is unlikely that would rule them out of a possible Lewandowski transfer.
The other forwards in their team tend to play better as almost a second striker or winger.
With the amount of success that United has found this season after adding Cavani, they would surely see a big boost if they were able to secure Robert Lewandowski.
Finally, Chelsea would almost surely be interested in bringing in Robert Lewandowski this summer. Chelsea have struggled mightily in the goalscoring department this Premier League season.
With the possibility that they have transfer-listed Tammy Abraham and Olivier Giroud leaving the club in the summer there is room for an additional striker. The addition of the Polish forwrd would be a game-changer for Chelsea.
