Al Hilal is the team that is trying to convince Romelu Lukaku to choose the Saudi Pro League instead of Juventus. The English press is sure of this, according to which the Saudi team which this summer has already got its hands on the Lazio Milinkovic-Savic and which has taken Koulibaly from the Blues has been aiming for the Belgian for some time. He doesn’t hear us for now, but Al Hilal have shown that they have the right arguments to convince even the most reluctant players.
offer
—
Like Juve and Inter, Al Hilal also stepped forward with Chelsea for some time. With a higher offer than the two Italians, exceeding 50 million euros. Both bianconeri and nerazzurri had reached 40 million, including bonuses, with the fixed portion placed on the plate by Juve higher than that of the nerazzurri, even if conditional on the sale of Vlahovic by 4 August. Al Hilal, on the other hand, is ready to pay all of the 50 million immediately. The Saudis’ problem for now is Lukaku, who according to the English press would have said no to their pharaonic offer of 50 million euros (gross) for two seasons, eager to remain in great European football, better if in Italy and certainly not in London.
wait

Inter’s withdrawal from the race and Juve’s need to sell Vlahovic before talking to Chelsea meant that Lukaku returned to London. Tomorrow he is expected in Cobham to resume training, together with the other Blues redundancies, who left today for a long tour in the USA from which the Belgian was obviously excluded. Initially his return to the Chelsea training center was scheduled for Wednesday or Thursday of last week, as coach Maurício Pochettino announced in his presentation press conference, but what appeared to be the rapid evolution of the negotiations with Inter had convinced both set off to postpone Lukaku’s call-up, convinced that it would have been a pro forma and not a real return of the player to the Chelsea base. The Belgian was expected in Cobham today, but to avoid clashes with the coach and the departing team everything was postponed until tomorrow. When Lukaku starts training, as an unwanted member of a team he wants to leave and where not even the fans want him, hoping to resolve his situation soon. Leaving for Turin and playing for Juventus, according to the wishes of the black and white people and at the moment of the player. But Al Hilal is waiting, ready to further raise its pharaonic offer. But even the Arabs won’t wait forever: they convinced Mitrovic, but they can’t find an agreement with Fulham who have already said no to two offers, the latest reaching 35 million.
