Haaland is the first choice for several clubs, including Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United and Chelsea, but only one – or even none – will get the Borussia Dortmund hitman.
Lukaku is seen as a slightly older, but more experienced, alternative by Chelsea and Barcelona.
It would be a return to Stamford Bridge, as the Belgium international already played there in 2011-12, but was loaned to West Bromwich Albion and Everton before the sale for €35m.
However, Inter have not the slightest intention of letting Lukaku go, having spent €75m to sign him from Manchester United.
If they were forced to sell due to liquidity issues, Lautaro Martinez would be a more likely option to leave.
TRUE Thomas Tuchel is interested in @RomeluLukaku9 if @ChelseaFC can‘t buy @ErlingHaaland this summer @Inter
