Robert Lewandowski Talks Reportedly Held by Chelsea and Manchester United

Chelsea and Manchester United are said to have both held talks with the representatives of Bayern Munich star Robert Lewandowski, with London his preferred destination and the Red Devils apparently "very keen." Bayern Munich have denied the rumours, however.

According to Sky Sports' Guillem Balague, the Poland international is unhappy in Bavaria, and his representatives have made contact with the Premier League giants:

Per ESPN FC, Bayern released a statement to Sky Deutschland dismissing the claims.

Lewandowski finished in second place in the Bundesliga top scorer's race last season after a frantic battle, scoring five goals in his last three matches. He finished with 30 goals, just a single strike behind Borussia Dortmund's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Here's a look at all of his Bundesliga goals last season:

The 28-year-old also added eight goals in nine UEFA Champions League starts and yet another Bundesliga title, but his side fell short yet again in Europe's premier club competition.

Both Chelsea and United are expected to invest in a top striker this summer. Per Darren Lewis of the Daily Mirror, the Blues have already started negotiating a Diego Costa sale with Atletico Madrid. Manchester United didn't renew Zlatan Ibrahimovic's contract after the veteran started 27 Premier League contests last year.

Both sides will feature in the Champions League next season and are expected to battle for the Premier League title. Chelsea are the reigning champions, and United manager Jose Mourinho has a remarkable knack for winning silverware in his second season at a club, per Miguel Delaney of The Independent.

The Bavarians likely won't part with their ace striker for anything less than a monstrous fee, however, unless the Pole demands a move.
