Romelu Lukaku has jetted into Saudi Arabia to hold talks over a shock transfer move to join Cristiano Ronaldo 's rivals, Al-Hilal.
The Chelsea striker could become the next European star to head to the Gulf state, with players like Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kante in the process of paving the way. Lukaku, 30, spent last season on loan at Inter Milan - who recently made their desire to keep him on a permanent basis clear - but it seems that the Belgium international is eyeing up a much more lucrative move just days after his nightmare performance for Inter in the Champions League final, as they lost 1-0 to Manchester City in Istanbul.
According to Foot Mercato, Lukaku flew to Saudi Arabia on Monday and discussed a mega two-year contract worth €25million (£21.5m) per season with Al-Hilal, who are based in the Saudi capital of Riyadh like Ronaldo's Al-Nassr. A transfer would see the 30-year-old once again compete with ex-rival Ronaldo, who he's previously played against in both the Premier League and Serie A.
