Juve have eyes for Lukaku
Wednesday 6 October, 2010
Juventus have joined the race to sign Anderlecht's impressive young striker Romelu Lukaku, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
The 17-year-old Belgium international has already attracted interest from Inter, Real Madrid and several English clubs.
Juventus are keen to bring in a striker in January and have already been linked with France international centre-forward Karim Benzema.
However, Beppe Marotta [pictured] and Fabio Paratici have apparently drawn up a list of younger players, which includes Lukaku, and River Plate pair Funes Mori and Erik Lamela.
Interviewed on Calciomercato.it, Lukaku's agent Christophe Henrotay said: “There still aren't any traces of official offers. But the English interest is real and we have a good relationship with them, but there is still nothing concrete.”
When asked about Juventus and Inter, he added: “I can't define it as speculation because there has been contact with these teams.
“The interest exists and we often hear from them for updates on the player. Certainly something could happen at the end of the season, or maybe even before.”
