Romelu Lukaku is still, as it stands, a Chelsea player

Romelu Lukaku has been linked with a surprise Premier League this summer.

The Belgian international has endured a torrid spell ever since rejoining the Blues for a whopping £97.5 million in 2021.

Since then, the 31-year-old has played just 44 times for Chelsea and his future again looks likely to be played away from Stamford Bridge.

With Belgium having just been eliminated from Euro 2024, talk regarding his next destination has began to intensify.

Italian reports are suggesting that both Milan and Manchester United are looking at Lukaku as a potential ‘Plan B’ option.

Both the Red Devils and the Rossoneri have been attempting to lure Joshua Zirkzee so far this summer.

But the report further states how both clubs could now pursue Lukaku if their respective moves fail to come to light.

Lukaku has already spent two years at Old Trafford from 2017-2019, failing to claim any silverware whilst at Old Trafford.

A move to AC Milan would likely annoy fans of the blue half of the city, given his allegiances with Inter in the past.

Lukaku has admitted himself he knows where he would like to play his football next season, but is keeping that under wraps for now.

“My future? In my head, I already know. I know what will happen,” he told media back in June.

“A lot of people like to talk, maybe because I don’t have an official agent. But I’ll decide.”

“I am in control of my situation. I will make a choice and once I explain it, everyone will agree with me,” he added.

“Whenever I have decided to stay or go somewhere, it has turned out to be the right choice due to a few factors.”

“My relationship with the coach is a key aspect of any decision. It’s like a relationship with a woman.

“If it doesn’t work anymore, why stay together?”
