Manchester City eyeing Robert Lewandowski transfer again as Carlos Tevez says goodbye
Manchester City eyeing Robert Lewandowski transfer again as Carlos Tevez says goodbye
Will Dortmund sell striker rather than watch him join Bayern on a free next summer? PLUS Micah Richards to be offered new deal
'Ski trip? City are ready to bid for Lewandowski once Tevez leaves
Martin Rose
Manchester City are ready to renew their interest in Robert Lewandowski as they begin shopping for a new striker.
City
put out feelers a few weeks ago, they were told that Borussia Dortmund
star Lewandowski's preferred destination is Bundesliga rivals Bayern
Munich.
However, Dortmund are adamant they will not grant Lewandowski his wish to join the club to whom they finished as runners-up in the Bundesliga and European Cup last season.
So a move to the deposed Premier League champions would be a way out of this impasse between the German club and the player.
With Carlos Tevez moving to Juventus on Wednesday, leaving only Sergio Aguero and Edin Dzeko as senior strikers in the squad, City are in the market for a goal-scorer.
Dortmund would bank £25million for Lewandowski, rather than lose him on a free - presumably to Bayern - next summer.
While
Poland international Lewandowski fits the profile of striker City want,
they have ruled out a move for Edinson Cavani and a swoop for Liverpool
star Luis Suarez is highly unlikely.
Manchester United may not
offer any competition and they have gone cold on Lewandowski, who has
scored 54 goals in 98 Bundesliga games for Dortmund, since David Moyes
succeeded Sir Alex Ferguson as manager. Four more years! Pellegrini is eager to keep Micah Richards at City
Clive Brunskill
City have previously shown an interest in Fiorentina forward
Stevan Jovetic, although that was driven by Roberto Mancini and
successor Manuel Pellegrini may not share his predecessor's enthusiasm
for the Montenegro international.
Meanwhile, the Blues' new boss has moved quickly to assure Micah Richards that he is a key part of his plans.
Pellegrini
wants to open talks over a new contract with Richards, even though the
England defender still has two years left on his current deal.
The
Chilean is keen to tie Richards to a new four-year agreement in
response to Inter Milan's interest in Richards, who turned 24 this week.
Pellegrini is impressed by his versatility and is determined not to lose him.
