Reports state that the Red Devils have already agreed on personal terms with Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata to become their main man up front. If the deal completes in coming weeks, it will be interesting to see whether the Portuguese will still continue his pursuit of Lukaku.
Chelsea, meanwhile, are waiting on the future of Diego Costa, who is expected to go back to Atletico Madrid. The Spanish international will not be able to play for them until January because of the transfer ban, but is keen to go there. Costa’s move shall also free up the chance to sign Lukaku.
With both clubs in an interesting scenario, fans will have to wait for a while to get a clear picture as to where the Belgian star striker will eventually end up.
