Transfer gossip: Sun say Lukaku could snub Chelsea return
Some of the latest transfer speculation involving Chelsea.
Romelu Lukaku could snub a return to Chelsea, The Sun claim.
The former Blues striker has been widely tipped to return to Stamford Bridge from Everton this summer, with reports saying he is keen to rejoin his former club and that signing him is a priority for Antonio Conte.
But The Sun now claim Lukaku has doubts about whether he would fit into Conte’s style of play.
Blues boss Conte is keen for his strikers to defend and to press the opposition, which Lukaku supposedly feels is a concern because it does not come naturally to him.
The Sun say Lukaku is torn between a move to Chelsea or Manchester United, who have also been linked with him.
Lukaku is keen to play under United’s former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, it is claimed.
The player subsequently tweeted what appeared to be a response to the speculation about his future.
Some media these days are annoying man…. 😓

Roma duo linked again
The Sun also say Chelsea are are weighing up a £70m double deal to sign Roma duo Radja Nainggolan and Antonio Rudiger.
Both players have been linked with the Blues during the last two transfer windows and are again being touted as possible signings.
The Sun believe Belgian midfielder Nainggolan is reluctant to sign a new contract at Roma and is unsettled at the Italian club.
