Romelu Lukaku is not in Chelsea’s plans and could leave for another Premier League club this summer.
Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku could become Aston Villa’s new star player. Despite his 21 goals for Roma last season, the London club have no intention of signing him for the upcoming season.
While many expected Lukaku’s future to remain tied to Italy, Monchi’s Aston Villa emerged as an unexpected but very likely option, according to Il Mattino.
This turnaround in the transfer market puts the Birmingham club in a strategic position to secure the services of a world-class striker.
Romelu Lukaku can still play in the Premier League
Lukaku’s performances at Roma have been remarkable, demonstrating his ability to be decisive in Serie A. However, Chelsea, who signed him with high expectations, have decided to look for other options in attack.
The striker’s situation at Stamford Bridge has been complicated, with ups and downs marking his time at the club. The option of a return to the Premier League with Aston Villa would not only be a surprising move, but also a sign of the appeal of the English league for players of his calibre.
Ideal candidate
Aston Villa, under Monchi, are looking to strengthen their attack and see Lukaku as an opportunity to step up their game. The Belgian’s style of play, experience and goalscoring skills make him an ideal candidate to lead the Birmingham club’s attack.
Negotiations between the two clubs could intensify in the coming days, with the aim of concluding the transfer before the start of the season. In the meantime, Villa fans are eagerly awaiting the possible signing of Lukaku, who could significantly transform the team’s Premier League aspirations.
