Romelu Lukaku is a target for Juventus as they look to bolster their team in a number of areas according to a report in Italy.

Corriere dello Sport claim that the Italian giants are lining up stars like Dani Alves and Miralem Pjanic with Lukaku their pick to spearhead their attack, particularly if Alvaro Morata leaves Turin this summer.

Lukaku has made no secret of his desire to play Champions League football next season and his agent Mino Raiola is a well-known operator in Serie A who has been hawking his client around Europe's biggest clubs. It remains to be seen if incoming manager Ronald Koeman can persuade the 23-year-old to stay with the Blues.

There were recent tabloid reports suggesting that Juve had been surprised by Lukaku's wage demands which, if true, could be an impediment to any switch from Goodison.

Everton's valuation could also be prohibitive as doubt has been expressed over whether the Italian club would be willing to pay as much as £65m for the Belgian who will be in the shop window this summer at Euro2016.
