Lukaku's heart set on Juventus, but Chelsea still pushing for Saudi deal


 Chelsea are pushing Romelu Lukaku to the Saudi Pro League, but he only wants to move to Juventus. Lukaku's preference is to stay in Europe and compete at the top of European football, and he has said that he is not interested in a move to Saudi Arabia. However, the Saudi clubs are reportedly willing to offer a large salary, and they are hoping that Lukaku will change his mind.

Chelsea are eager to sell Lukaku this summer, as they are looking to recoup some of the £97.5 million that they paid for him in 2021. They are also looking to free up space in their wage bill, and Lukaku is one of the club's highest earners.

Juventus are also interested in signing Lukaku, but they are not willing to offer as much money as the Saudi clubs. However, they believe that they can offer Lukaku a better chance of winning trophies, and they are hopeful that he will choose to join them.

The future of Lukaku is still uncertain, but it is clear that he is not happy at Chelsea. He has been training on his own since being excluded from the club's pre-season tour, and he is expected to leave the club in the coming weeks. It remains to be seen whether he will end up in Saudi Arabia, Juventus, or somewhere else.

Here are some of the possible outcomes of the Lukaku transfer saga:

  • Lukaku could agree to move to Saudi Arabia for a large salary.
  • Lukaku could stay at Chelsea for the 2023-24 season.
  • Lukaku could move to Juventus for a lower salary but with a better chance of winning trophies.
  • Lukaku could move to another club in Europe.
  • Lukaku could retire from football.

It will be interesting to see how the saga unfolds in the coming weeks.

Bruno Takes Maguires place as the new captain of Manchester United

  Bruno Fernandes has been confirmed as the new captain of Manchester United, replacing Harry Maguire. The Portuguese midfielder has been handed the armband on a permanent basis after wearing it on numerous occasions last season. Fernandes was appointed captain on an interim basis in January 2023 after Maguire was dropped from the team by then-manager Ralf Rangnick. He has since led the team to 16 wins in 26 games, including a memorable victory over Liverpool at Old Trafford. The 27-year-old is a popular figure among the United fans and is seen as a natural leader. He is also a key player for the team, having scored 64 goals and provided 54 assists in 185 appearances since joining from Sporting Lisbon in 2020. Fernandes' appointment as captain is a sign of Erik ten Hag's faith in him. The new manager is looking to build a team around the midfielder and believes that he can be a key figure in the club's future success. Fernandes is the first Portuguese player to captain Manc
