We were initially in pursuit of Morata, but after some difficult negotiations with Madrid and Chelsea also struggling to reach a deal with Everton, we ended up with Lukaku for £75m while Chelsea got Morata for £60m. Lukaku is reportedly on £200k per week while Moratais on £140k per week
Back then, I felt both players ended up on teams that didnt really suit their strengths i.e. Lukaku would thrive with Hazard, Willian, Alonso etc breaking down the defence and feeding him in the middle, while Morata would integrate better with players like Martial and Rashford who can more easily interchange with him and play through the middle while he drifts wide.
Question: Given what you have seen of both strikers so far, would you be interested in a direct swap of Lukaku for Morata?
