Chelsea have entered the fray to sign Romelu Lukaku after they matched
Manchester United's bid of £75m. The West London club were in pole
position to resign their former player as he has been linked with them
all summer. But a lack of movement from the Stamford Bridge outfit saw
Manchester United jump ahead of the queue to take the lead in the race
to sign the Belgian international after they sent a bid of £75m on
Thursday. It has now emerged that Chelsea have responded in like sum
as both clubs go head-to-head in the race to sign him.
Manchester United are now in a stronger position to sign the 24 year
old largely due to he player's agent. His agent Raiola has as his
clients Paul Pogba, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. He was
instrumental in bring all three players to Old Trafford last season.
And he looks set to do the same with Lukaku.
The destination of the Belgian striker, a scorer of 25 league goals
last season should become clearer in the coming days.
