Manchester United and Chelsea Enter Race for Robert Lewandowski

It had been thought that Barcelona would be Robert Lewandowski’s preferred choice but that move is believed to have hit a stumbling block because of Barcelona’s financial situation.

Spanish sports website Mundo Deportivo have revealed that Javier Tebas, the President of the Spanish Football Association said,

“Barça, today, cannot sign him. Barcelona knows what they have to do.

“He knows perfectly our rules of economic control and his financial situation. The rules are to avoid major economic problems in the entities.”

This has put Manchester United and Chelsea on high alert as they look to seize on the opportunity to sign the star striker.
