Real Madrid Eye Romelu Lukaku After Kroos and James Rodriguez Signings
Real Madrid, fresh from securing the signings of Toni Kroos and James Rodriguez, have reportedly turned their attention to Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku as they continue to strengthen their squad. According to the Daily Star, the reigning European champions are keen to add the young forward to their ranks, with plans to also pursue Radamel Falcao.
Lukaku, 21, who impressed during the 2014 World Cup, has been attracting interest from several Premier League clubs, including Everton and Tottenham Hotspur. Originally signed by Chelsea in 2011 for €22 million, the Belgian-Congolese striker has spent the past two seasons on loan at West Bromwich Albion and Everton. He enjoyed successful spells at both clubs, netting 17 goals for West Brom and 15 for Everton.
With his proven goal-scoring ability and promising potential, Lukaku has established himself as one of Europe’s emerging talents. Chelsea, managed by José Mourinho, are now reportedly asking for €30 million to part ways with the player. Real Madrid, known for their significant transfer investments, appear ready to meet the asking price if they deem Lukaku to be the right fit for their ambitious plans.
The potential acquisition would add further firepower to an already star-studded Real Madrid attacking line-up and give them added options as they aim to retain their Champions League crown and challenge on multiple fronts domestically.
As Real Madrid build a squad blending established stars and exciting young talents, Lukaku’s physicality, pace, and finishing prowess make him a highly attractive prospect. Whether Los Blancos can finalize the deal remains to be seen, but interest from one of Europe’s biggest clubs is a clear endorsement of Lukaku’s rising stock in world football.
