Transfer gossip: Speculation over Lukaku’s future continues

A round-up of the latest transfer speculation involving Chelsea…

Speculation continues over the future of Romelu Lukaku, who has been linked with a possible return to Chelsea this summer.

The Daily Express say Everton’s asking price is £65m and that Chelsea have indicated they are unwilling to pay that much.

So too, apparently, have Manchester United and Juventus, who have also been linked with the Belgium striker.

The Daily Telegraph say Lukaku, sold to Everton in 2014, has set his heart on a return to Stamford Bridge.

Meanwhile, midfielder Koke, who has also been linked with Chelsea, has told Spanish media he has no intention of leaving Atletico Madrid.

And Edinson Cavani’s agent Claudio Anellucci has played down speculation linking the Paris St-Germain forward with a possible move to the Bridge.

Anellucci told French radio: “I do not think that it is at all possible for Cavani to quit PSG.

“After the departure of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, PSG want to keep their existing squad and reinforce in order to win the Champions League. PSG cannot lose two strikers.”
