Paris Saint-Germain are interested in signing Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku in the upcoming summer transfer window. Lukaku arrived at Stamford Bridge just six months ago in a big-money move but the Premier League giants are looking to offload the Belgian who is unsettled.
PSG are expecting the probable departure of star forwards Kylian Mbappe and Mauro Icardi in the summer and looking for big-name replacements. Mbappe is consistently linked with the Real Madrid move since the last summer and the French superstar is expected to move to Spanish giants for sure.
Icardi has grown frustrated in the French capital after getting overlooked by manager Mauricio Pochettino and looking for a January exit at the Parisians. Manchester United are tipped for his signature as a possible replacement for Edinson Cavani and Anthony Martial.

The Ligue 1 giants are set to regain the league title this season after an 11 points lead over 2nd placed Nice. PSG did smart business in the summer transfer window after securing Gianluigi Donnarumma, Sergio Ramos, and Georginio Wijnaldum on free transfers. They also signed full-backs Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes to solidify their wings. but the biggest signing for them was Lionel Messi, who left Barcelona and completed his famous PSG move in the summer.
Chelsea To Offload Romelu Lukaku In The Summer And Target Erling Haaland:
Romelu Lukkau returned to the Chelsea squad and scored in their last fixture as well, after getting dropped for a very crucial league fixture against Liverpool. The 28-year-old Belgian star made controversial remarks last week regarding his happiness at Stamford Bridge and his desire to return to Inter Milan. This backfired big for the former Manchester United striker, but later he apologized for his comments and manager Thomas Tuchel closed that chapter saying the situation has calmed now.
The Blues can not afford to punish Lukaku by dropping him to the bench. Timo Werner is struggling with injuries and other options have failed to capitalize so far. According to the El Nacional, Chelsea management will give another chance to Lukaku to test his commitment with them and sell the striker in the summer for a reported fee of £75.3 million.
Lukaku will be 29 of age in the next transfer window and selling him for such a big money will be a good piece of business from the management. According to the latest report, Chelsea have turned their attention to Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland. The 21-year-old Norwegian has a release clause of £64 million which gets activated in the summer. Manchester City and Barcelona are also eying Haaland transfer and will be the hottest property in the summer transfer market for sure.
Chelsea are placed 2nd in the league table with 43 points, 10 points behind leaders Manchester City so the title race is almost over for the Blues as the Citizens are very unlikely to drop points. Chelsea now turns their focus on regaining the Champions League trophy and finishing in the Premier League in top-four position.
