Real Madrid could be offered Chelsea outcast Romelu Lukaku this summer should the Spanish giants remain in the market for a forward.
Lukaku is set to return to Stamford Bridge at the end of the season after his season-long loan spell with Inter Milan with whom he will turn out in the final game of the campaign – the Champions League final against Manchester City later this month.

Inter are tipped to be in the mix to strike another loan agreement for the 29-year-old frontman with the decision from the San Siro camp likely to be announced after the Champions League final.
