The Belgian international striker is currently on loan at Inter Milan from Chelsea, but his future at Stamford Bridge is uncertain. Lukaku has been linked with a move back to Inter, but Al-Hilal are now said to be interested in signing him.
The move would be a huge coup for Al-Hilal, who are one of the most successful clubs in Saudi Arabia. They have won the league title 17 times and the AFC Champions League twice. Lukaku would add a lot of firepower to their attack, and he could help them to win more trophies in the coming years.
Lukaku is a proven goalscorer at the highest level. He has scored 26 goals in 60 appearances for Belgium, and he has also scored 12 goals in 40 appearances for Chelsea. He would be a major asset to any club, and Al-Hilal are clearly hoping that he can help them to achieve success in the near future.
However, it is not yet clear whether Lukaku will accept Al-Hilal’s offer. He is said to prefer a return to Inter, but the Italian club’s financial problems could make any permanent transfer impossible. Lukaku could also be tempted by the huge financial rewards on offer in Saudi Arabia.
Only time will tell what Lukaku decides to do, but his future is certainly one of the most intriguing transfer sagas of the summer.
