Former Juventus coach Marcello Lippi is backing their move for Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku.

Lippi believes Lukaku will suit Juve coach Max Allegri's system.

He told Tag24: "Whether or not Lukaku will join Juventus at the moment is not known, but he is a high-level striker and would fit well in any top club, not just the Old Lady.

"If there is the possibility, the Juventus management will try for him.

"For Allegri it would be an important reinforcement for next season."
