Chelsea are keen to recruit a striker to their club this season, and they are willing to pay a lot of money to do it. They did all they could to encourage Borussia Dortmund to sell Erling Haaland a year before his move release clause kicks in, however the Bundesliga club demanded about £170 million for the Norwegian.
Because Manchester City is more likely to sign Harry Kane, the Blues have opted to make Lukaku their first choice.
The English club is said to have made an offer of £85.4 million plus Marcos Alonso for the attacker, but Inter Milan is demanding closer to £100 million, with the striker keen to join.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be encouraged by the £5 million transfer fee, which isn't much else in the transfer window but will help him in his quest to win the Premier League championship.
Manchester United have welcomed Jadon Sancho to their squad this summertime, and Raphael Varane is set to join them within the next week.

Chelsea, on the other side, will not be bothered if United is given money since they are eager for a striker.
Timo Werner recorded 6 goals in the league since coming in the last summer, and Lukaku's skill offers them a chance to compete with Manchester City.
