Juventus want more than just Lukaku as part of the deal, though, asking for an additional £35million for the 23-year-old. Manchester City and Chelsea are reportedly in the race to sign Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise, but the Daily Mail says there is confusion with his release clause. The club are also interested in signing 19-year-old forward Alejo Veliz from Rosario Central, who is worth around £12million.
