It's all very well and dandy lukaku wanting to go to a champions League club, and then people thinking we're pricing him out of a move ... but he's been here for four successful seasons now, is the current number one striker for the "best" international team in the world
... but nobody has bid or even shown interest in him.
Any of the top tier teams who can aford him, he'd be a backup striker for imo. I think we should keep him this summer regardless of what happens and hopefully he can take us to the Champions League or even better a trophy (not sure an FA Cup would make him stay but I'd be happier).
I just don't think he's in an amazing position atm, pointless all these pundits saying he should go here, there and everywhere when none of them are interested.
Yeah I agree with this. Where exactly is he going to go?
Out of the type of clubs he would want...
Chelsea, been there, done that, wouldnt really fit into how Conte sets up his team and they already have Costa.
United may not qualify for the CL and Mourinho obviously doesn't rate him that highly.
Arsenal may not get CL either and would never spend that amount on him.
He wouldn't suit how Guardiola plays at City. Spurs is probably not enough of a step up for him and they have Kane. The RS is not an option.
Abroad you have Barcelona who have Messi, Suarez and Neymar among others and his all round game is probably not quite good enough.
Bayern Munich wouldn't pay silly money and he may even be looking at a wage cut to go there.
Serie A is rubbish.
Leaves two options for me. PSG which is always possible but its no a glamour league, and Real Madrid, that could be possible as he could replace Benzema if he were to leave.
See you next season Rom.
