REVEALED: Chelsea want £95m pair Lukaku AND Morata to replace Diego Costa

Published on: 16 March 2017

Chelsea are seeking a major change in strike force this summer.

The Sun is reporting that Antonio Conte is ready to sell Diego Costa at the end of the season and replace him with TWO quality strikers.

It is understood that Chelsea are prepared to offload Costa for a huge price in the next transfer window and want Everton's Romelu Lukaku and Real Madrid's Alvaro Morata to fill his vacancy at Stamford Bridge.

Costa is believed to be significantly interested in moving to Spanish giants Real even after Chelsea did everything to keep him in January when cashed-up Chinese clubs came calling.

Chelsea's technical director Michael Emenalo is confident of landing Belgian ace Lukaku for £60million after he turned down a new deal at Goodison Park.

And it is believed that Conte also wants Spanish attacker Morata after missing out on him in the summer. He is looking to leave the Santiago Bernabeu and would cost around £35m.

The Italian manager is eager to make Chelsea a force in Europe again and bringing the aforementioned pair to West London would allow him to revert to his more favoured 3-5-2 formation despite the team being in a title-winning position playing 3-4-3.

Meanwhile, young striker Dom Solanke is expected to leave Chelsea on a free transfer while Bristol City loanee Tammy Abraham is being linked with a loan move to Turkish powerhouse Galatasaray.
