Romelu Lukaku Next Club Odds As Chelsea And Man City Lead Way

Romelu Lukaku has been the driving force behind Inter Milan's quest for a first Serie A title in 11 years.

As a result of his sizzling form, the Belgian powerhouse is one of the hottest strikers in the European market today - with his former club Chelsea among the favourites to bag his signature.

In his first season in Italy, the 28-year-old scored 23 league goals and has surpassed the 20-goal mark once again, as he continues to prove his lethal ability.

Lukaku first showcased his talent in the Premier League at Chelsea, West Bromwich Albion, Everton and Manchester United - and has fully embraced the challenge of operating in a new environment at Milan.

And with the Belgians form catching the eye of clubs around Europe, Chelsea are now leading the packs in terms of his previous clubs if he were to make a sensational move back to England.

According to Belgian publication HLN, Chelsea is Lukaku's "club of heart" and have already had a word with his agent, though they have no made a "concrete proposal" as of yet.

And with the Euros now well on the horizon, it won't just be Chelsea that will be queuing up for Lukaku.

It is expected that an array of clubs from around the world will also be keeping a close eye on how the Belgian does during the tournament - and the betting suggests exactly that, too.

Chelsea (4/5)

Romelu Lukaku has been linked with a move away from Inter after another impressive campaign in Italy - with Chelsea favourites to bring the Belgian back to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea signed him in 2011, but he failed to make the grade and spent three seasons on loan at West Brom and then Everton before moving to Goodison Park on a permanent deal.

Could a return to west London be on the cards? Well, the bookies sure seem to think so.

Manchester City (8/1)

Reports suggest Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola will be given a £200m cash injection this summer to bolster his ranks at the Etihad.

And according to The Sun, top of his wishlist is Romelu Lukaku, as well as Borussia Dortmund talent Erling Haaland.

Would Lukaku make the move to City having already played for fierce rivals United, though?

Paris Saint-Germain (14/1)

Paris Saint-Germain already have a frighteningly talented side with world-class attackers such as Kylian Mbappe and Neymar, so it's hard to see them make a move for Lukaku.

However, the Ligue 1 giants know how to spend their money - and if they spend it right this summer, then the Belgian will almost certainly be a name that will be high on their list.

Tottenham Hotspur (16/1)

With Harry Kane's future up in the air, Tottenham Hotspur will be looking for a replacement if, of course, the England captain leaves.

And with the mega-money that chairman Daniel Levy will demand, what better replacement is there than Lukaku?

Will it happen, though? Probably not.
