Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho will rival his former club Chelsea in the race for Anderlecht wonderkid Romelu Lukaku.
The 17-year-old is widely regarded as the finest young striker on the continent and has been coveted by a host of Europe’s top clubs. Manchester City and Manchester United have both had scouts in attendance at the striker’s games last season, but the player is believed to favour a move to the current Premier League champions, and is a self-confessed Didier Drogba fan, who he has been likened to.
According to Marca, Mourinho is willing to spend £20 million on the bulky forward in an effort to beat his former club to the chase. Lukaku allegedly has his heart set on a move to Stamford Bridge next year, despite rumoured interest from Manchester United and Manchester City.
The player has already scored 19 goals in 45 games for Anderlecht despite his tender years, and although the club is eager to retain him, the prodigious forward is already one of the most coveted stars on the continent.
