Jose Mourinho hired the services of Zlatan Ibrahimovic on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain last summer and the retired Swedish international proved to be the best goalscorer for them.
However, the former Barcelona star injured his knee in the Europa League and is out for long term. United need a prolific No. 9 and must splash the cash to sign one in the summer transfer window.
Last month, we covered a report (via The Sun) claiming that the former Chelsea boss wants the likes of Antoine Griezmann and Romelu Lukaku at Old Trafford. The Blues are interested in the Belgian forward as well
Now, the Sun have exclusively revealed that United and Chelsea can finally agree his signing but they will have to splash a huge sum of 100 million pounds ($130million) to hire the services of the former Anderlecht striker.
Everton finished 7th in the Premier League under the management of Ronald Koeman and the Dutch manager is only ready to let his prized asset leave for the above mentioned fee.
Lukaku was easily the best player for the Toffees this season as he netted 25 goals and provided 6 assists in 37 league appearances.
A prolific goalscorer like him deserves to play Champions League football. For now, Manchester United have not confirmed their place in the Europe’s elite competition. They need to beat Ajax in the EL final to qualify. Of course, Chelsea have qualified for the group stages as PL Champions.
In your opinion, should Lukaku join Chelsea or United?
