Juventus step up Romelu Lukaku interest?

Juventus have reportedly joined the hunt to sign Romelu Lukaku in the summer.

It is widely expected that the Belgium international will leave Everton at the end of the season, with a club in the Champions League said to be his preferred destination.

His former side Chelsea have recently been credited with an interest, as have German duo Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.

However, Gazzetta dello Sport has claimed that Juve are now in the running for the 22-year-old’s services.

The report adds that officials of the Italian champions have identified Lukaku as an alternative target to Edinson Cavani, who has been tipped to stay at Paris Saint-Germain.
