PSG are keeping a close eye on Romelu Lukaku as Inter Milan attempt to agree a deal with Chelsea for the Belgium international....CONTINUE READING THE FULL ARTICLE>>>
Well – according to the Telegraph – Chelsea have told the Belgian he can return to Cobham on Monday, having initially wanted him back on Wednesday.
Lukaku is refusing to fly back to London as he waits for Inter Milan and Chelsea to strike an agreement over a permanent deal.
Now – however – a new side has entered the race for his signature in PSG.
Corriere dello Sport believe the French giants have joined Inter Milan and Juventus in the battle to sign Lukaku, which adds an interesting dimension to the saga.
Chelsea are currently demanding £40m for the 30-year-old.
The aforementioned story by the Telegraph claims that Inter Milan’s next bid will be worth £35m including bonus payments, although that is still £5m short of Chelsea’s asking price.
PSG interest could see Chelsea receive more than £40m for Lukaku
In our view, a bidding war could now break out if PSG really are serious about signing Lukaku.
The Parisians are one of the richest clubs around, and can easily afford to spend £40m on the £350,000-a-week man.
Therefore, if Inter Milan now up their bid to the £40m asking price, PSG could even offer Chelsea more given their riches.
Another way to look at PSG’s interest is that it could spark Inter Milan into meeting Chelsea’s demands, in fear of a much wealthier side pinching him from their clutches.
Whatever happens, the more clubs that are keen to sign Lukaku, the better it is for Chelsea – be sure to keep an eye on this situation, as anything could happen…REAdFULL
