Lukaku to Chelsea? €100m bid + player rejected

I dont know what's more crazy - we offering Everton 75m or Inter offering 75m or Chelsea offering 120m. I don't think he is a bad player at all and I do think we shouldn't have sold him. But this is bonkers. Crazy money all around for single player. Is there a player who has gone through this many big transfers? If Chelsea's offer is accepted, it would be 28 + 75 + 75 + 120 for Lukaku

Adebayor? Except Lukaku is going in circles.
 
Can't wait to see him pointing and shrugging in the PL again.

His fecking stupid hands out like he wants something for free kills me.

He does it even when he's not in a better position than the other guy shooting. I hope Chelsea spunk the money on him only to remember why they let him leave in the first place.
 
I dont think Lukaku will be anywhere near a "flop". This a striker who scored 17 in 38 for WBA, 87 in 166 for Everton, 42 in 96 for Utd, and 64 in 95 for Inter.

I'd wager he will definitely score goals for us, and "hopefully" finish the chances we fecked up countless times last year

He's not worth the money, neither is Grealish for example, but he'll score goals for us, thats all we need
I stand corrected. I didn't know he was as prolific as that. Anything's going to be better than Werner!
You forgot Torres!
Left him out on purpose, the treasonous wretch.

I honestly dont want him at Chelsea. Chelsea had similar problems to us last season where they would randomly lose to trash. Lukaku would bully the trash. Then they would set up in the big games without him. They are Title contenders with him to be honest.
 
If it’s true it’s going to be €130m, that’s a lot for 28 years old striker. But I guess, they have no other option to sign. Hope it’s €130m before adding Alonso on the deal.
 
I mean.... If they play him in on goal, rather than play off him. Then I can see him being pretty dangerous and an upgrade on Werner. Lukaku can actually slot in nicely imo and play that Werner role thinking about it.

Yeah he's very similar to Werner but it course miles better. 100 million plus a player is an enormous fee though. I'm surprised it was rejected.
 
Not sure about the reliability of the guy



Definitely see him excelling at Chelsea but that fee is insane. I guess they've got cash to burn and want their man no matter what.
 
If he's worth 100m then i dont think levy is off his rocker for demanding 150m for kane :lol:
 
I hope they do it. If Lukaku goes to Chelsea and Kane goes to City then that leaves the door wide open for United to sign Haaland next year who would be vastly better than either.
 
It's always rubbed me a bit the wrong way how every pundit became a huge Lukaku fan the moment he left us.

I understand he's done extremely well in Italy, but have to wonder how much of that is the league versus the player.

Personally wouldn't be that bothered if he rocks up at Stamford Bridge. Especially at that kind of price.
No only in Italy, he has done well in WC and Euro too. The only time he wasn’t good is his last season with us, when our whole team was in a mess. He was in general among top 3 striker in PL during his time at Everton.
 
The fee is huge, as per reports Inter expects around 120-130 million. He will score goals that Werner missed for sure, will he get into so many goal scoring positions that Werner gets into? Werner for all his shit finishing, works his socks off on and off the ball. Always makes the runs, presses well. Not sure Lukaku can do that. I mean it's unrealistic to expect that from Lukaku considering his size.

He will surely add something that Chelsea are missing, presence in the box. Not sure how he fits their team. Fee is insane though, 130 million and its not even sure Inter will accept that.
 
Also as per Di Marzio, Chelsea have offered him 12 million net, which makes him highest paid player in the league.
 






Inter reportedly are waiting for a new bid closer to the €120m range; offer of €100+Alonso was turned away.

Chelsea were close to securing him a few years ago before United hijacked the move. Lukaku has said in the past that Chelsea are his favourite club and has hinted at wanting to go back.

(…I really don’t care if it means Chelsea pay big for Lukaku now, City do as well /Kane?, leaving Haaland with little to no competition other than United next summer…)


€120m for Lukaku (hell, even 100) is beyond insanity. Sorry, but he is not top tier by any stretch of imagination.
 
Rate him higher than most but 120-130m euros is an absolutely insane price for him.
 
From the reports, it's actually 5%.

I think it's 20% when it's sell on clause for profit, 5 million for sell on clause.. Looks like there are 2 reports floating around. Both will give us around 5-6 million.

Ah okay.
 
130m is too much for Lukaku. But he will definitely be good addition to Chelsea.

I personally rate him at around 90m on current market.
 
If he's worth 100m then i dont think levy is off his rocker for demanding 150m for kane :lol:

This. In a universe where Grealish and Lukaku are worth 100mil, Kane has to be 150+

Besides, Chelsea are also offering a player + 100mil. So Levy should ask for 130-150mil plus a player.
 
I rate him highly, but he clearly has his limitations. I hope Chelsea get him for that price, City get Kane for a stupid price and we go all out for Haaland next summer unless bald Martial reaches Henry.
 
All depends whether Lukaku can keep his fitness up.

Compare how he looks at United to Inter and it's a night and day difference. I dunno what happened at his time with us, but he clearly got bigger + heavier and it completely ruined him.

He's slimmed down a lot since and looks much sharper for it.
 
It could well end up with Lukaku to Chelsea, Kane to City and Haaland to United.
 
His price reflects the fact that Inter don't want to lose him. It's not unreasonable. And there aren't a lot of options either, if what you want is a really top shelf striker. Lukaku is that, I think. Although he's been more dominant in Serie A this year than he's ever been in the PL.

Exactly this. I was hoping they don't sign a competent striker.
 
Maybe it's time to stop heaping praise on Cheleas transfer activity? They failed in their pursuit for Haaland and now they are preparing to pay crazy money for Lukaku. I do think he'll make them a better team and will probably be a good signing but the fee and wages are not value for money.

Their squad is also massively bloated with Kepa, Alonso, Emerson, Baba Rahman, Zappacosta, Bakayoko, Barkley, Drinkwater, Loftus-Cheek, Kenedy and Batshuayi all still on the books and not even out on loan as of yet.
 
if he was white he wouldn't be disrespected as he is.

He's a top proven goalscorer.
