At this point, it seems that only a miracle will get Romelu Lukaku out of Chelsea, with a move to Juventus difficult to come by.
It’s been widely covered, and yet, Corriere dello Sport, in a report looking at the various possibilities for the Belgian, give everyone a glimmer of hope.
They explain that while there is a slim chance that AS Roma could tweak their books favourable to allow the arrival of the Chelsea striker, it remains very difficult.
However, ‘there is no confirmation’ that a move will be made for Lukaku, regardless of José Mourinho’s affinity for the player, having managed him at Stamford Bridge and Old Trafford in the past.
There’s been a lot of talk about a deal involving Dusan Vlahovic going the other way, but that isn’t really mentioned here.
It remains the most logical outcome, especially with Chelsea desperately needing a striker in their squad that Mauricio Pochettino wants to use, and we’ll have to wait and see what develops in the next nine days, before the transfer window shuts.
