Sky Sports News have now claimed that there are two clubs both looking to sign Chelsea’s Romelu Lukaku this summer.

A video published on the Football Daily Twitter account has stated that there is still plenty of interest in his services despite Inter Milan pulling out of a deal.

It has been claimed that Lukaku was somewhat disappointed that he was forced to start from the bench in the Champions League final last month.

This is despite him coming on and having the Serie A side’s best chance late on.

The Belgian reportedly opened negotiations with Juventus, despite him repeatedly claiming his affection for the San Siro side that he left to join Chelsea.

The Blues are more than happy for him to leave anywhere at this stage, and Sky Sports have now suggested they have two major options.

Two bidders for Lukaku

They said: “We have some transfer news just in to us. Chelsea have two serious bidders for striker Romelu Lukaku. We know Inter Milan have moved on to other targets after deciding against pursuing a deal.

“Juventus have held talks and are prepared to offer 40 million euros including add ons, however any bid is likely to depend on them selling Dusan Vlahovic. Lukaku is not expected to go on Chelsea’s pre-season tour of the USA, they fly out this afternoon.

“Lukaku’s other option is Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia, although it is tought his preference at this stage is to remain in European football.”

The Blues may be able to help Juventus out in their hopes for getting rid of Vlahovic, with it being claimed that they are keen on signing him.

Despite previously being described as ‘powerful’ by Roberto Martinez, Chelsea are desperate for the relationship to come to an end,
