But behind the scenes, the club are battling financial losses, which could force the them into transfer sales in the summer.

City are also on the hunt for a new striker, following the news club legend Sergio Aguero, 32, will leave at the end of the season.

And Chelsea – where Lukaku was signed to from 2011–2014 – are also rumoured to be looking for another goal scorer.
