focused on winning the title.” FA Cup final reaction and analysis | How Chelsea held their nerve against United Lewandowski was the subject of a public reminder last June from Bayern that he had a contract until 2021, with the club clearly suggesting that they were aware a market was being created for the striker. Real Madrid have always been considered the first in the queue for the highly-rated Poland international but in the past two years the Champions League finalists have had to sell players in order to stay in profit and it is likely that they would have to do the same again to buy Lewandowski. Morata is now represented by Pini Zahavi, the Israeli agent who was such a key player in the acquisition ofRoman Abramovich’s first Premier League-winning Chelsea team in the midpoint of the last decade. Bayern were robust in seeing off interest in the player last summer and he finished top of the Bundesliga goalscorers with 29 goals – almost twice as many as any other player in the league. The stand-off with Conte and his assistants continues this week with the compensation bill expected to top £10 million if Chelsea wish to move on the Italian and his sizeable entourage form the last year of his contract. As well as his brother Gianluca, Conte has built up an extensive group of coaches assistants, analysts and nutritionists.
