Chelsea 'confident' they can sign £75m Lukaku; Juve, Man United and PSG also interested

Chelsea are ‘confident’ of signing Everton star Romelu Lukaku, the Mirror writes today.

Coach Antonio Conte has long been keen on the idea of signing the former Blues man, who has scored 19 goals this season in Premier League action, enough to attract the attention of Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United, Juventus and Real Madrid.

And to think that agent Mino Raiola had recently promised that the 23-year-old would stay at Goodison Park, ​telling TalkSPORT (via Goal.com) that “the deal is “99.99999999% [done]!.”

"We are signing a longer contract, so for sure the intention is [to remain at Goodison Park].

Recently interviewed by Belgian journalist Kristof Terreur, however, Lukaku said that he wouldn’t sign a new deal.

The Blues had a £57 million offer rejected for the former Antwerp man last summer, but will need at least £75m this time round.

Lukaku was signed by the Blues back in 2012, only to be sent on two loans to West Brom and Everton, before signing with the Toffees for €35m in 2014.
