The report focuses on Barcelona’s potential pursuit of Lukaku, but Chelsea are also mentioned as suitors for their former player.

With his scoring record and experience of playing in the Premier League, Lukaku would no doubt be a tempting addition for CFC, though the player himself could also enjoy himself at Barcelona.
