Valencia challenge Atletico Madrid for Chelsea striker Lukaku

Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku has received two offers from Spain.

The Mirror says Atletico Madrid have asked for Belgium international striker Lukaku on a season-long loan while their striker Diego Costa prepares to make his £32million switch to Stamford Bridge after completing his medical.

However, Valencia have also come in and are prepared to pay around £18m for the powerful centre-forward.

Lukaku was farmed out on loan to Everton last season after fearing he would not get a chance under manager Jose Mourinho having spent the previous season on loan at West Bromwich Albion.
