Transfer gossip: Lukaku to Real Madrid? Rugani to Chelsea? | OneFootball

We can definitively say that last night’s transfer stories outweighed the drama of France v Belgium.

Here’s today’s transfer gossip round-up.

Real Talk 😀

Liverpool target Marco Asensio will be staying at Real Madrid, according to his agent.

Fake News 😡

Spanish outlet Don Balon, known for their ridiculously false transfer claims, say Real Madrid will want several new stars to replace Cristiano Ronaldo… and will look to swoop for Romelu Lukaku. The reports say that the Belgian is the perfect man to take the place of Karim Benzema.

We feel that Los Blancos would have to shell out more than the €100m they’ll receive for Ronaldo to land Lukaku.
