Chelsea lost out on a huge target in the current transfer window. The Blues, who are yet to make any major signing, were close to landing Romelu Lukaku before he was snatched up by Man United.
The Belgian ace was on the brink of a Stamford Bridge return when the Red Devils matched the Blues offer. The striker’s £75m Old Trafford move has now been completed and announced.
Antonio Conte’s is reportedly fuming over their failure to complete the Lukaku deal. The Premier League champions, in need of a world-class striker this summer, have already identified their next target however.
The Sun report that Chelsea are now eying a move for Andrea Belotti, the Torino forward who burst onto the scene last season.
The Italian scored 26 goals in Serie A, assisting another seven, as his club finished ninth in the league. The Azzurri international won’t come cheap – some outlets claim he could cost £90m.
Diego Costa’s future is up in the air. The Spaniard has been linked with an Atletico Madrid return, which means signing Belotti would be a replacement deal.
