Chelsea rejected the chance to sign Robert Lewandowski for €80 million (£68m/$94m) earlier this summer - according to <a href="https://twitter.com/cfbayern/status/1426072851820449793" target="_blank">BILD</a>. The Blues refused to meet Bayern's asking price for the 32-year-old due to his age, after being offered the potential transfer by his agent&nbsp;Pini Zahavi. Lewandowski now looks set to remain at Allianz Arena until his contract expires in 2023, with Chelsea ultimately deciding to spend £98m ($135m) to re-sign Romelu Lukaku from Inter instead.

Goal&nbsp;can confirm that Real Madrid are open to selling Martin Odegaard for €40 million (£34m/$47m) this summer, with Arsenal poised to accelerate transfer talks&nbsp;after Joe Willock's permanent move to Newcastle is confirmed. Odegaard initially signed for Real from Norwegian outfit Stromsgodset as a 16-year-old back in 2015, but has since been restricted to just 11 first-team appearances for the club amid a flurry of loan spells. The playmaker's latest temporary move away from Santiago Bernabeu saw him join Arsenal on a six-month deal in January, and he made a big impact at Emirates Stadium, but his long-term future remains very much up in the air ahead of the 2021-22 campaign. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/real-madrid-open-to-selling-odegaard-for-40m-with-arsenal-poised-/a3bjsp54eo0b1f24de3pucqcy" target="_blank">Read more here</a>.
