A new destination for Romelu Lukaku has emerged after the talks between Chelsea and Juventus ground to a halt, as Tottenham have shown interest after selling Harry Kane to Bayern Munich. The Spurs cashed in €100M plus add-ons. They signed Argentine prodigy Alejo Veliz but plot to add an established striker too, Alfredo Pedullà relays.
The Blues and the Bianconeri struggled to agree to the fee included in the package. The formed wanted €40M, while the counterparty offered less. Moreover, both the Pensioners and Dusan Vlahovic had doubts. The Old Lady is now in the process of selling different players, which might be enough to address their economic needs.
The discussions between Chelsea and Tottenham to orchestrate the Lukaku deal have been preliminary. They are expected to continue in the next few days.
The Belgian rebuffed the advances from Saudi Arabia to stay in Europe. According to Corriere dello Sport, the striker is eager to work with Massimiliano Allegri. He has given his word to the Bianconeri. The coach dished on the transfer market after a friendly with Atalanta.
It’d be a fine landing spot, but whether they’ll be willing to spend big for a veteran remains to be seen. Perhaps they’ll target Vlahovic, setting up the domino.
