Juventus to submit shock offer for £85 m-rated United striker

Italian Serie A champions Juventus are willing to give Belgium international Romelu Lukaku a new football life away from Manchester United by submitting a shock offer ahead of the winter transfer window which reopens in coming days.

The former Chelsea striker has been widely criticized by pundits and United fans for his poor form so far this season despite the fate invested in him by former manager Jose Mourinho.

Romelu Lukaku is therefore reported to be growing in frustration and will not mind moving away from the Old Trafford.

However, Juventus are keen on having the star striker join the club at Turin so as to provide a good partnership with former Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo.

Romelu Lukaku has a contract running with Man United until 2022 but there are indications he will not see out his years with the Red Devils owing to the interests in him and his poor performance at the club.

The Belgium international has got a release clause of about £89 million which the Italian Serie A side are willing to meet in the coming winter transfer window.

Meanwhile, it is not clear if the Red Devils will be willing to let Romelu Lukaku leave despite his poor form at the club.
