The race once morest time continues. In a fortnight, the transfer window will close in the major European championships. And one wonders where Romelu Lukaku will be at that time. For the moment, no one knows. Not even him, even if he still hopes that the doors that lead to Juventus will eventually open.
However, this option now seems to be slipping away. Nothing has changed for the Bianconeri: Dusan Vlahovic must first be sold before welcoming the Red Devil. Except that the three clubs who were thinking of the Serb opted for other options: Bayern Munich bought Harry Kane, PSG turned to Gonçalo Ramos and Chelsea preferred not to follow up on the exchange offer.
Even if the negotiations are not completely broken between Juve and Chelsea, Romelu Lukaku must seriously consider turning to another destination. The most obvious might be Tottenham, who are able to pay the €40m demanded by Chelsea given the record sale of Harry Kane to Bayern (€100m). Several English media thus advance that the Spurs are in full reflection on this possibility.
Rejected by the tifosi and blocked by Vlahovic: what are the other options for Lukaku?
However, other tracks exist to replace Harry Kane. La Gazzetta dello Sport cites the names of Folarin Balogun, put up for sale by Arsenal but courted elsewhere in Europe, as well as the striker of… La Gantoise Gift Orban. Another lead would lead to… Vlahovic. Which would also suit Lukaku since Juventus might then go on the offensive.
It is for this reason that Big Rom still gives himself a little time, he who would absolutely like to join Juventus. If nothing were to move before September 1, however, he would only have the option of Saudi Arabia, where the transfer window does not close until September 20. The Saudi clubs, which have already made offers, remain in any case on alert.
