Real Madrid fitness coach Antonio Pintus has revealed the challenge that could face Carlo Ancelotti if they were to sign Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku this summer. Lukaku has been regularly linked with moves away from Stamford Bridge this summer after a tricky return to England with Los Blancos among those keeping tabs.
Thomas Tuchel added the 29-year-old to his options last summer for a club-record £97 million with the hope of firing the Blues into the Premier League title race. But Lukaku ended the league season with just eight goals in 26 appearances although off-field issues both of the player's making and not will not have helped either.
Inter Milan, AC Milan and Barcelona have all been linked with moves for the striker ahead of the summer, while Madrid are reportedly considering Lukaku as a potential replacement for the ageing Karim Benzema, despite the Frenchman coming to the end of one of his most productive seasons.
