The transfer market continues to offer unexpected twists and one of the names taking center stage is Belgium international Romelu Lukaku. Worth an estimated €40m, the striker is no longer a priority for Inter Milan due to his flirtation with Juventus. This changed situation has opened up an opportunity for Real Madrid who could consider the attacker as a strategic acquisition.
Lukaku, who plays a supporting role at Chelsea, has been tempted by the possibility of a move to Saudi Arabia, although bets remain on his stay in Europe. With their position at the Premier League giants becoming increasingly limited, Chelsea have reportedly entered talks with the Santiago Bernabeu to explore the possibility of a deal.
The new striker who is in Real Madrid’s orbit in case Mbappé doesn’t arrive
Until the new striker, who is in Real Madrid’s orbit in case Mbappé doesn’t arrive at the moment, Real Madrid haven’t announced his final position on Romelu Lukaku. However, as the panorama continues to evolve, the Belgian striker could represent an interesting option to strengthen the Whites’ attacking front. The departure of a footballer of his caliber from Inter Milan has created space for a possible entry into the Whites’ top flight.
The transfer market is volatile terrain and Lukaku’s situation is an example of how player movements and desires can change the direction of their trajectory. As the days tick by and the transfer window closes, it will be interesting to see how negotiations develop and if Real Madrid decide to take part in the bid for this prolific Belgian striker.
