The Manchester United fans in the Transfer Tavern keep saying that Romelu Lukaku will join them to replace Zlatan Ibrahimovic while the Chelsea fans think that Lukaku will come to them to replace Diego Costa.
With the physical centre forward set to leave Everton, these two clubs have emerged as the front runners in the race for his signature.
The big Belgian has now stated his preference between the sides.
According to The Sun, Romelu Lukaku will snub an approach from Manchester United to seal a return to Chelsea.
This news has caused a huge cheer to come from the Chelsea booth as they plan for next season with the 23-year-old.
With 24 league goals this season, Lukaku tops the goal scoring charts and his pace, strength and impressive left foot have caught the eye of the Premier League giants.
One of the main reasons for him preferring a move to Chelsea over Manchester United is apparently due to Jose Mourinho.
The irony is that Mourinho sold Lukaku to Everton when he was manager of Chelsea and now that will help deter him from teaming up with the Portuguese boss at Manchester United.
The report suggests that he is willing to accept less money to go to Chelsea.
Chelsea fans – Lukaku up front next season: yes or no? Let us know…
