Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has reportedly decided to make Everton’s Romelu Lukaku his top priority ahead of this summer, leaving Alvaro Morata on the second place in the Italian’s transfer target list, Marca (via Metro) claims.
The Spanish media outlet believes that Chelsea see Lukaku as a better fit to the team for his experience in the Premier League, also boosting the team’s home-grown quota.
Morata has also been linked with moves to Manchester United and AC Milan, with the two transfer rivals stepping up the chase for the £52m rated striker.
Jose Mourinho is reportedly ready to offer David De Gea to Real Madrid in hope of landing Morata ahead of the Blues this summer.
Conte is known to be a big fan of Morata, who has also hinted at moving to Chelsea as he told the media he sees himself working with the Italian manager ‘sooner or later’.
Lukaku bagged an astonishing 25 league goals this season and could reach even bigger amount of goals at Chelsea next season.
