Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku has been offered to Real Madrid amid links to an Inter return, but the Colchoneros prefer a move for Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus.
This according to Spanish news outlet Marca, who report that the Belgian is one of the strikers who the La Liga champions are linked with this summer, but that their strongest interest is in signing Jesus.
Lukaku is trying to find a new club this summer, with the Belgian’s main objective being to convince his current club to sanction a move back to the Nerazzurri, with a loan move the likely formula for a possible return one summer after he was sold.
However, Real could represent another possible destination for the 29-year-old should he aim to leave his current club where he does not enjoy a good relationship with coach Thomas Tuchel and has been out of form.
Real are also interested in AC Milan’s Rafael Leao and Manchester City’s Raheem Sterling as far as attacking targets, though Jesus is the player they are most interested in.
