Chelsea Transfer News: Robert
Lewandowski’s agent has been helping the Blues this summer
The Poland international has been linked with a move away from
the Bundesliga champions after splitting with agent Cezary
Kucharsk at the end of last season.
He swiftly linked up with super-agent Pini Zahavi, who has been
helping Chelsea with their transfer dealings this summer.
According to The Sun on Sunday, Zahavi assisted in the
brokering of the deal with Napoli to release Maurizio Sarri.
And it is claimed he will be a ‘major ally’ for Chelsea[1] in
attempting to land Lewandowski.
The 29-year-old is under contract at Bayern Munich until the
summer of 2021 so would likely command a big transfer fee.
The Sun on Sunday claim Chelsea will have to raise
funds before firming up their interest in Lewandowski.
