Real won't sign any more forwards this summer

Real Madrid won't be signing any more forwards this summer - according to COPE.

After missing out on Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappe, the Blancos are set to offload Luka Jovic and/or Mariano Diaz.

Real won't worry about a lack of depth in that case, however, as they are happy to go into next season with Karim Benzema, Marco Asensio, Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo leading the line again.

Inter forward in high demand

Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are vying for the signature of Inter striker Lautaro Martinez - according to Tuttomercatoweb.

Atletico Madrid are also keen on the 24-year-old, who could be sold this summer so that the Nerazzurri can raise the neccessary funds to re-sign Blues striker Romelu Lukaku.

Chelsea could look to replace Lukaku with Lautaro, but he is also of interest to PSG as they seek even more firepower up front.

Inter-linked Lukaku will 'bounce back' at Chelsea - Cech

Romelu Lukaku has been backed to succeed at Chelsea next season by club legend and advisor Petr Cech, despite the striker's desire to leave this summer.

Lukaku rejoined Chelsea from Inter for a club-record fee of £98 million ($122m) last summer, but has been tipped to return to San Siro after a disappointing first year back at Stamford Bridge.

Cech, however, has suggested the 29-year-old will remain with the west London side, highlighting that his struggles with injury and Covid-19 explain his poor performance over the course of the 2021-22 campaign.
