Juventus consider Lukaku bid as Chelsea have confirmed the sale of Alvaro Morata

Juventus consider Lukaku bid

Italian champions Juventus are interested in signing Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku, according to a story in the Daily Mail. Lukaku has long been linked with a move to Inter Milan under new boss Antonio Conte, but a move has not yet materialised. However, there is a suspicion that Juventus are making the play in order to force Inter to sell them Mauro Icardi so they do not miss out on Lukaku. 

Chelsea have confirmed the sale of Alvaro Morata, who joined the club in 2017.

The club thanked the 26-year-old striker and wished him good luck, in a tweet on Saturday. Atletico Madrid, the club to whom Morata has been on loan since January, tweeted that Morata will remain on loan from Chelsea for the next season, with a "definitive transfer" agreed for the start of the 2020-2021 season. Morata joined Chelsea from Real Madrid for a then reported club record fee of around £60 million, and made 31 league appearances that seasonand scored 11 goals. The Spain international however failed to impress in the Premier League and was sent back to La Liga in the January transfer window.  

Thank you and good luck, @AlvaroMorata. 👊
