PSG are reportedly open to signing Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku this summer, with Tottenham also in contention to sign the Belgian international.

According to French publication But!, the Ligue 1 giants are keen on the Premier League superstar, who has endured a tough comeback season in west London after Chelsea signed Lukaku for a club-record £97m.

The former Inter Milan marksman has scored just five goals in the Premier League, and if reports are to be believed, Chelsea are already looking at offloading Lukaku this summer, with PSG and Tottenham eyeing the attacker.

Eurosport report that Antonio Conte is eager on signing the 28-year-old if Harry Kane departs this summer, with the Italian and Lukaku having a fantastic relationship together during their time with Inter.

As per 90min, the attacker once said he ‘would die for Conte’, which could make Tottenham’s interest in Lukaku realistic if they are to see Kane depart north London in the summer.

Indeed, whilst Conte and Lukaku have a good relationship, a move to PSG might also be an alluring one for the Chelsea star, especially if Kylian Mbappe makes his much-anticipated move to Real Madrid.

Lukaku’s homecoming to Chelsea has gone as poorly as you can imagine, with a move away from the Blues looking likely this summer, and PSG could view themselves as the favourites to sign the striker.

Whilst Tottenham and Conte could be a good fit for Lukaku if Kane is to leave north London, PSG’s statute, finances and squad could be too tempting for the Belgian international over a move to Spurs.
