“Chelsea’s potential swap deal for Harry Kane: The Lukaku Factor”

Romelu Lukaku still belongs to Chelsea, where he returned for the third time in the summer of 2021, after they paid almost 120 million euros. An investment that could not turn out worse, because he had practically no minutes, after fighting with Thomas Tuchel. That caused him to return to Inter Milan on loan the previous year, where this campaign has helped them qualify for a Champions League final after more than a decade without doing so.

Even so, the performance of the Belgian star cannot be compared to that of his first spell at Giusseppe Meazza, where he became one of the best strikers on the planet. In fact, he is not even a regular starter for Simone Inzaghi, and it is not clear what will happen to him. The ‘neroazzurri’ will not make any attempt to retain himand they only intend to keep it if it is in exchange for a very reasonable price.

But at Stamford Bridge they don’t want to give it away either. Despite the fact that the new manager, Mauricio Pochettino, has made it very clear that he does not have the 30-year-old striker, Todd Boehly wants to do business with the former Everton, Manchester United, Anderlecht and West Bromwich Albion. And the option that has gained strength is that it forms part of a change of cards to bring a galactic desire closer to the London team.

And it is that the ‘blues’ are doing everything possible to convince Harry Kane to leave Tottenham Hotspur, where he only has a contract until 2024. He does not seem to be very convinced with the idea of ​​renewing, and for that reason he has dedicated himself to rejecting all the expansion proposals that have been presented to him. He is frankly disappointed by how things are going there, and the Argentine coach hopes to convince him to meet his former pupil again.

So he wants to try his luck so that the English international ends up with him at Chelsea, and they would be willing to offer Lukaku as a bargaining chip, in addition to financial compensation.

The ‘spurs’ prefer to sell Kane abroad

However, there are two problems that make the operation difficult. The first is that Kane wants to continue playing in the Champions League, and land in a team that promises him titles from the outset, something that Pochettino cannot guarantee. In fact, they will not participate in European competitions.

Besides, the ‘spurs’ prefer to sell Kane to another team from outside the Premier League, like, for example, Bayern Munich.
