Barcelona have emerged as candidates to sign Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku alongside the likes of Inter, AC Milan, and Bayern Munich.
This according to Spanish news outlet Mundo Deportivo, who report that the Catalan giants have made contact with Chelsea, although the finances involved in a deal could be difficult for them.
Lukaku has not enjoyed a strong season back in the Premier League with Chelsea this season, and he increasingly looks set for an exit from the Blues during the summer transfer window.
A return to Inter could be possible despite having only been sold last summer, although the likes of AC Milan and Bayern Munich have also been linked with an interest.
The Blaugranas are the latest team to inquire about the Belgian, although given that Chelsea would ask for at least €95 million for him in addition to his wages being high, it could be difficult for the La Liga side to bring him in.
