Romelu Lukaku Attracts Interest From Atletico Madrid and Valencia After Breakthrough Season
Romelu Lukaku’s impressive season with Everton has sparked widespread interest across Europe, with clubs from the Premier League, Bundesliga, and La Liga all vying for the Belgian striker’s signature.
According to the Daily Mirror, Atletico Madrid are particularly keen on securing Lukaku on a long-term loan deal. With Diego Costa’s impending move to Chelsea, the Spanish capital club is eager to fill the striker void, and an agreement between Atletico and Chelsea over Costa’s transfer could smooth the way for Lukaku’s arrival.
Valencia FC have also entered the race, reportedly willing to offer €22 million to sign the 21-year-old forward outright. Meanwhile, Bundesliga sides Borussia Dortmund and Wolfsburg are also tracking Lukaku closely, setting the stage for a potentially busy summer transfer window.
Currently in fine form and preparing for the 2014 World Cup with Belgium, Lukaku’s next move will be closely watched as he looks to build on a breakout season with Everton.
