Bayern Munich are reportedly interested in signing 29-year-old Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku ahead of next season.
According to Fichajes, Bayern Munich could push for the signature of Romelu Lukaku. The German giants are keen on signing a new forward ahead of next season. And the Belgian international is one of their potential targets.
The 29-year-old has not been at his best for a few seasons now. But, he is capable enough to turn things around. Lukaku is currently on loan at Inter Milan from Chelsea. And, he is expected to return to his parent club in the summer.
The Belgian striker was a part of Inter Milan from the summer of 2019 to 2021. In the two seasons with the Italian club, the Chelsea forward scored goals for fun and was among the best forwards in the world at that point in time.
On the back of his performances, the Blues brought him back to the club. However, his big-money move did not go according to plan. He returned to Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2021 but after a disappointing season, he was loaned back to Milan.
The Belgium international has had a rough season at Inter. Lukaku only has five goals to his name in his 19 outings in all competitions. He has struggled with injuries and hasn’t been at his best while he has been on the pitch. In addition, his market value has dropped to €40 million.
Meanwhile, the 29-year-old’s loan move expires in the summer. And, he is all set to return to his parent club, with Inter unlikely to make any move to extend his loan or sign him permanently. Lukaku’s contract at Chelsea runs until the end of 2026. However, he is likely to be sold in the summer.
Bayern Munich are one of the clubs that would love to have him in their ranks. The 29-year-old has been on their radar for a while now, and they are all set to push for him in the summer. The German giants need a new number nine. They are yet to replace Robert Lewandowski, who left for Barcelona ahead of the ongoing season. Lewandowski was a key part of their success, and they are in search of someone who can fill his big boots.
While they were initially keen on signing Harry Kane, they are aware of the complication surrounding the Tottenham striker. As a result, the German club have shifted their focus on Lukaku, whose market value €40 million. However, it will be interesting to see if they can manage to land him at the club as there are a few clubs who are interested in his signatures.
