Chelsea and Liverpool snubbed by teenager wonder-kid Lukaku

Chelsea and Liverpool are set to miss out after teenage sensation Romelu Lukaku admitted his dream move would be to Real Madrid, reports the Daily Mail. Lukaku has been tracked by the west London club for a number of years and they had hoped to snare the 17-year-old striker, dubbed 'the new Didier Drogba,' from Anderlecht.

Meanwhile, Lukaku's agent Christophe Henrotay claimed last month that he had spoken to Liverpool about Lukaku.

But in an interview with Spanish daily Mundo Deportivo, Lukaku was asked about the chances of joining the Spanish side or the likes of Chelsea in the future, he said "if I had my way, I would go to Real Madrid."
