Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly set to step up their efforts to land Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku’s signature this coming summer.
The Ligue 1 giants have emerged as the frontrunners in the race for the Stamford Bridge outcast who has failed to make his way back into Thomas Tuchel’s first-team plans in recent weeks following a dip in form.
Lukaku looks certain to call it quits in the English capital come the summer as the Belgium international struggles to adapt to life in the Premier League despite the hype that had surrounded his £97.5million club-record transfer from Inter Milan last year.
According to a report from transfer expert Dean Jones, it is claimed that PSG are hoping to intensify the talks with the Chelsea camp for bringing in Lukaku ahead of the start of the new campaign.
Chelsea are understood to be willing to bear a major loss on their record splurge on Lukaku’s signature last summer with Thomas Tuchel in line for a major overhaul of his ranks heading into the new season at the Bridge.
