The transfer saga surrounding Anderlecht’s Romelu Lukaku has been something of a confusing one this summer, one minute his signing is imminent and then there are reports that we’re not entirely convinced over the player.

Lukaku, 18, has been linked with a move to a host of European clubs, but as a fan of the club it is believed that Chelsea is his preferred destination and he has previously described playing for the club as a personal ‘dream’ of his.

However, since Andre Villas-Boas has arrived at Stamford Bridge, the talk of Lukaku to Chelsea have died down somewhat and some have suggested that our manager isn’t keen on the Belgian forward.

But Anderlecht’s general manager Herman Van Holsbeeck insists that Chelsea have not gone cold over Lukaku, but says that they will only sell him for serious money:

“We will only sell if the player, the buyers and Anderlecht are better for it. Right now that isn’t the situation.

“Many clubs have shown interest but we want a serious transfer sum, so it may still take some time, and if we can’t sort it out we will have him as a star striker at Anderlecht next season. There is a rumour that the new Chelsea coach doesn’t fancy Romelu, but those people clearly have different information to us.”

The Club’s chairman Roger Vanden Stock added:

“Lukaku himself says it will be Chelsea and so I guess it will be Chelsea – but they’re not going to give us the money just like that. They want to keep the price as low as possible.

“We will see what happens. We’re not worried. I think Lukaku will eventually move to England but if he stays with us for another year, that is fine as well. We are patient and we don’t desperately need the money.”

What do you think the future holds for Chelsea target Romelu Lukaku?

    Chelsea – zero class! Villas-Boas will be treated like sh*te just like his predecessors and booted out at the end of the season cos you won’t win the European cup.
    Fernando Torres – Chelski were sold a £50m pup. He only played well in his first season for Liverpool and then in 2 games against you. You don’t sing his name – if you do it’s a copy of the “Liverpools No 9” song – get your own for christs sake! Oh and while I’m at it even your El Nino banner is the same as the Kops only in blue. Great fans? Pathetic!

      What are you Andy another Jelous Chelsea hater, dont know wht team u support, but the crap u have typed is unbelievable. 1st up our new manager AVB wont be treated like shit, if anything the Chelsea fans are very happy with his appointment. We will the European cup under him and u can eat your shitty words. U must be a Livepool fan who’s club have never one the premiership since it was formed. On Torres, if u heard AVB’S press conference on Wednesday he said Falcou was going through the same barren as Torres, before finishing the division as top scorer. The same will happen to Torres, AVB will train him to be great and he will finish top scorer mark my words.
      CFC for Life!!

    we don’t need him. BTW to Andy I guarantee you Liverpool will NOT be challenging for the title you f**king spend a combined 55m two shit players? Henderson for 20? ahaha I saw him playing at the U21 he looked like a 2dollar player. I feel bad for Gerrard he should have moved to chelsea in 2005 he won Nothing there he’s retiring without with the PL. He deserves better.

    U have little grasp on recent history. Its only 6 years ago since we made it our 5th!!!!! and we’ve been in there or there abouts competing too ( 2 finals in 3 years etc). Where will you be when your Russian mobster gets tired of spending his ill gotten gains on overpriced, overrated players? At least you’ll have had a taste of minor success.
