'Juventus hold discussions with Chelsea over Romelu Lukaku and are able to finance a move for the striker' as they look to add to their attacking options

Juventus have reportedly held discussions with Romelu Lukaku and are able to finance a move for the Chelsea striker in this transfer window.

As reported by Corriere dello Sport, Juventus are interested in a deal for Lukaku, who has been frozen out by Chelsea and hasn't been given a squad number.

There remains a gap between Chelsea's valuation of Lukaku and what Juventus are currently willing to pay, but that could soon be addressed.

Inter Milan were interested in signing Lukaku on a permanent basis following his loan spell last season but saw a £26million bid rejected by Chelsea, who are believed to want £40million for the striker.
