Explosive Anderlecht striker Romelu Lukaku has said that were he to leave the Belgian side, Real Madrid would be his chosen destination, despite interest from the likes of Chelsea and Liverpool.
17-year-old Lukaku is regarded as one of the brightest prospects in Europe.
He scored 18 goals in 43 games for Anderlecht last season, and has already bagged three goals in seven games this term.
Chelsea has been monitoring Lukaku for some time, especially with the youngster often viewed as a youthful version of Didier Drogba.
Meanwhile, Lukaku's agent Christophe Henrotay claimed last month that he had spoken to Liverpool about Lukaku.
However, in an interview with Spanish daily Mundo Deportivo, Lukaku said that he has turned down interest from Real Madrid for now, in order to continue his studies in Belgium while playing for Anderlecht.
But, when asked about the chances of joining the Spanish side or the likes of Chelsea in the future, he said "if I had my way, I would go to Real Madrid.”
