Blow for Chelsea & Arsenal as Xavi confirms “there are negotiations” over major transfer


Chelsea and Arsenal could reportedly miss out on the transfer of Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski after a revelation from Barcelona manager  Xavi.

The Poland international is approaching the final year of his contract with Bayern, putting his future in some doubt and alerting a host of Europe’s top clubs.

This includes Chelsea and Arsenal, according to Guillem Balague in a recent tweet from his official account, and there’s no doubt these are two clubs who urgently need to make a big signing up front this summer…

Still, it could be that the London giants are behind Barca in the running for Lewandowski’s signature, with Xavi confirming that talks have taken place over trying to bring the 33-year-old to the Nou Camp.

It’s not often we hear managers go public about transfers like this, so it perhaps suggests Xavi has some belief that a deal could be struck, even though he made it clear it wouldn’t be easy.
