Ed002 with mourinho going fenerbahce do you see them going for lukaku? And who is interested in him? Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - Romelu Lukaku (S) Wants to stay in Italy and there is interest from Napoli but they are reluctant to pay the asking price and have a number of other options identified to replace Osimhen if he departs. Al-Hilal have spoken to Chelsea via Emanalo and would no doubt make a decent offer but the player won't be keen with Mitrovic already installed at the club. However, Jeddah-based Al Ahli are far more attractive and are pushing for a striker - perhaps an option. Roma have spoken with his representative about turning the loan in to a permanent move, but it will be complicated and unlikely. Ismail Kartal wanted Fenerbahce to buy Lukaku to challenge Michy Batshuayi but with a change of coach the squad and targets will be assessed before decisions are made.}

No way do we drop our price for any club, if they want LukKu then they pay what we want.
Napoli would not drop their asking price for their striker, why should we.

If only it was that simple Bill. (but I do agree) .

It always seems to be us paying top dollar to Italian clubs but when it comes to us they want an Italian discount.
No more I say.

Various journos reporting that talks with Napoli have broken down so there may be a change in who our striker target is now.

Thats good news, we should have been in for Sesko however it looks like he is now Arsenal bound.
31 May 2024 16:58:19
I disagree, but either way it will be interesting to see who we now target. I rather suspect it will be Gyorkeres, who has 8 goals in the prem written all over him.

Sesko is not as good as Jackson and at least Jackson has a season of experience behind him now.
Looks like we have ruled Osimhen out according to Romano. No surprises there as wages would've been a tremendous issue. Gyorkeres also probably staying at Sporting another year.
We still need a striker.

he has justxhad a major operation on an injury so hopefully not unless we want another situation like Nkunku on our hands.
