Saudi club Al-Nassr, home to Cristiano Ronaldo, is interested in Chelsea's Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku.

On loan to Inter Milan this season, without an option to buy, Romelu Lukaku will make his return to Chelsea this summer, before leaving again? That's the strong trend. And while Inter Milan would love to have him back, the 30-year-old Belgian striker could also join Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema in Saudi Arabia.

According to Goal, Al-Nassr, the club where CR7 plays, is interested in Lukaku, who even flew to Saudi Arabia in the wake of the Champions League final loss to Manchester City to negotiate with the Saudi club, who are offering him a two-year contract and a salary of €25m per season.

A very attractive offer, but one that does not satisfy Lukaku, who is demanding more, according to Goal. Al-Nassr will also have to come to an agreement with Chelsea, where Lukaku is under contract until 2026. According to Goal, the Blues are hoping to recoup more than €50m, a sum that Al-Nassr is not prepared to pay at the moment.
