An unexpected name appeared on Romelu Lukaku's next destination list.

British sports bible reported on the 3rd (Korea time) 'Lukaku has been linked to the possibility of a transfer that will shock everyone'

Lukaku has completed his loan to AS Roma in the 2023-2024 season and is looking for his next destination as a member of Chelsea. Napoli, where its teacher Antonio Conte was appointed, was first mentioned as the most likely destination.



For Lukaku, it was considered the most likely destination.

Lukaku has already achieved outstanding results with Conte. During the 2020-2021 season, when Inter Milan won the league, Lukaku was the second-leading scorer in the league and the first-leading offensive point in the league, and he was the crown prince of Conte. Chelsea, the original team, which had already been at odds with Lukaku, was also expected to be positive for sales if Napoli and Conte actively participated in recruiting Lukaku.

But Lukaku's choice did not turn to Napoli. Later, news emerged that he had also entered negotiations with AC Milan, and it was again in the fog which team he would choose this summer.



In this situation, an unexpected team surprised fans by appearing on Lukaku's list of expected destinations. It was Manchester United.

Sports Bible says 'Lukaku is now likely to leave Chelsea again to play. Belgium's early elimination from Euro 2024 intensifies talk of his destination. According to the news, both AC Milan and Manchester United are considering Lukaku as an option', indicating Lukaku's possible transfer to Manchester United.



Manchester United want to recruit a front-line striker who will play alongside Rasmus Hoyloon this summer. The existing priority was Joshua Zirkji, but Lukaku also seems to be considering recruiting as there is competition in the case of Zirkji.

Lukaku has worn a Manchester United uniform since his active performance at Everton in 2017. Lukaku, who recorded a transfer fee of 85 million euros (about 126 billion won) at the time, was expected to play a strong role in Manchester United.

But Lukaku and Manchester United did not last long. Lukaku, who finished his first season with 27 goals and 9 assists, was excluded from coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's plan with only 15 goals and 3 assists in his second season. Since then, Inter Milan has broken up with Manchester United after two seasons as they set out to recruit Lukaku. It was a disappointing finish, so it is unclear whether fans will greatly welcome Lukaku's transfer to Manchester United.



With interest in Lukaku's next destination, Manchester United has emerged as a destination candidate. It is also expected that many fans will pay attention to which team Lukaku will head to this summer.
