Romelu Lukaku (27 años) fue una de las primeras opciones que Ronald Koeman barajó para reforzar la delantera del Barça. El técnico holandés quedó impresionado por el potencial del belga ya en su paso por la Premier League y se ajusta al perfil. El problema fue y sigue siendo su precio, pero no es el único obstáculo.
El jugador es feliz en el Inter de Milán. Está entusiasmado con la posibilidad de ganar la Serie A y tiene una relación magnífica con Antonio Conte, según han explicado fuentes de su entorno a MD. Lukaku sólo se plantearía una salida al Barça si el club le abriera las puertas y mientras Ronald Koeman esté en el banquillo culé.
El técnico holandés coincidió con Lukak u en el Everton en la temporada 2016-2017 cuando contaba con 23 años. Aquel año el equipo rindió a un gran nivel liderado por el talento goleador del delantero belga. Surgió un buen ‘feeling’ entre ellos, de ahí que le viera como el ideal. De todas formas, el club italiano sólo se plantearía su venta por unos 120 millones, informaron medios italianos, aunque las mismas fuentes consultadas por este diario rebajan la cifra a unos 100-110. Podría salir si se confirma la renovación de Lautaro. El jugador, sin embargo, desea quedarse en el Inter -tiene contrato hasta 2024- porque siente que ha encontrado la estabilidad que buscaba. Suma 25 goles y 7 asistencias en 34 partidos oficiales. El Barça no es el único que le tiene en mente.
Koeman también le sufrió en Southampton, cuando le endosó dos goles en tres partidos. No es extraño que le dedicara palabras de elogio hace cuatro años, cuando ya le veía con potencial para jugar en el Barça. Le llegó a comparar a Patrick Kluivert. “Tiene el potencial de convertirse en un delantero increíble, todavía tiene sólo 23 años y está mejorando”, dijo entonces Koeman a HLN. “Creo que su finalización es muy buena, mantiene la calma y es uno de los mejores que he visto - como jugador y como entrenador- cuando se trata de tomar la decisión final delante de la portería”, dijo, asegurando que podía emular al ex delantero holandés del Barça. “Patrick destacó a una edad temprana y disfrutó de una carrera fantástica, finalmente jugó para el Barcelona y puedo ver a Lukaku haciendo lo mismo”, añadió, admitiendo su buena relación. Y no dudó en soltar una exigencia: “Creo que todavía puede aportar más defensivamente”
