Analysing the Transfer gossip – 17th June: Part 2: Kaka, Higuain, Lewandowski and more

As we move in to the off-season an unprecedented amount of managerial movement around Europe will surely see an already frantic transfer market go in to overdrive. This will give plenty of opportunities for transfer rumour and gossip. So how much of it is realistic?

Part One is here.

---

Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United are set to miss out on 24-year-old forward Robert Lewandowski, who will wait for his contract at Borussia Dortmund to run out next summer in order to move to his preferred destination of Bayern Munich.

Full story: Daily Star

What’s the story? This is turning in to a bit of a circus but the latest reports are that Lewandowski will run down his contract at Dortmund and go to Bayern for free next year if they don’t let him move this summer. Dortmund have misplayed their hand here, any value he had is being evaporated and he’s almost unusable next season.
Does it make sense? If he only wants to go to Bayern, he’s backed Dortmund in to a corner.
Is the price right? At this rate, they’ll lose him for free or for a greatly reduced price.
Will it happen? 10/10 – he’s going to Bayern one way or another.
