According to Tuttosport, Romelu Lukaku’s lawyer Sebastien Ledure is ready to accept Al-Hilal’s offer, but the Chelsea striker keeps waiting for Juventus.
The Turin-based paper claims the Saudi Pro League side have raised their offer for the Belgian striker at €80m for two years.
It’s enough for the striker’s lawyer Ledure, but Lukaku is still waiting for Juventus. The 30-year-old is unwilling to leave Europe and Juventus seem to be the only club interested across the Old Continent.
Juventus are ready to offer €40m to Chelsea, but can’t make a formal if they don’t sell Dusan Vlahovic.
New Football Director Cristiano Giuntoli said on Tuesday that the Bianconeri rely on the Serbia international, but will listen to ‘irrefutable’ offers this summer.
He admitted that the Bianconeri have sounded out Lukaku, but talks with the Blues are not at an advanced stage.
However, Lukaku is in a hurry to leave Chelsea where he is training separately from the group. He hasn’t joined the Blues for the pre-season tour in the USA and may consider Al-Hilal’s offer if the Serie A giants don’t make an offer shortly.
