Antonio Conte has revealed he wanted to sign Romelu Lukaku at Juventus when the Belgian forward impressed on loan at West Bromwich Albion back in 2013.
Lukaku was loaned out to the Baggies by Chelsea in the 2012-13 season and finished as the Premier League's sixth-highest scorer that campaign with 17 goals, more than any other striker at his parent club that term.
The Belgian striker initially failed to make the grade at Chelsea and ended up linking up with Conte at Inter Milan in 2019, earning the Nerazzurri their first Serie A title in 11 years earlier this year, before securing a £98m move back to Stamford Bridge.
