Manchester City Fans are reportedly plotting a shock transfer swoop for ex-United striker Romelu Lukaku as Pep Guardiola eyes a ‘£200m squad overhaul’
The Citizens are expected to be in the market for a new striker at the end of the 2020-21 campaign, with the club’s all-time leading goalscorer Sergio Aguero potentially leaving on a free transfer.
According to The Telegraph, City are prepared to spend £200m in the summer window to improve their squad, and Lukaku has been identified as a potential target in the final third of the field.
Dortmund striker Erling Haaland and Benfica forward Darwin Nunez are also said to be the top targets as long-term successors to Aguero.
Whether Aguero stays or goes, the report claims City will sign a new striker regardless.
The 27-year-old has plenty of Premier League experience having spent the majority of his career in England.
Lukaku has scored over 100 league goals in spells at Chelsea, West Bromwich Albion, Everton and Manchester United.
