La Liga champions Atletico Madrid are set to make a move on Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku, El Mundo Deportivo has suggested.
Los Colchoneros are preparing for life without Diego Costa and David Villa, meaning they need to sign two quality strikers this summer.
And while they were hoping to recruit Romelu Lukaku on a permanent transfer, Chelsea will only consider a season-long loan, which could prove to be a blessing in disguise as it would allow the club to invest the money in another player.
Luring the Belgian to Vicente Calderon will be no easy task even if Atletico officials manage to reach an agreement with the Blues, seeing as how a number of Europe’s top sides are keen.
Romelu Lukaku is eager to leave Stamford Bridge as he is still not in the first team plans of boss Jose Mourinho despite impressing during the loan spell with Everton.
The 21-year-old was not at his best as Belgium defeated Algeria in their opening World Cup fixture, but he is 5/4 to score against Russia.
