The Real Madrid striker has drawn serious interest from United and AC Milan and could leave the Champions League winners in search of more first team opportunities. The Blues have been working for months to find a replacement for Costa, who was told by Antonio Conte that he was no longer needed, and have made Lukaku their top target.  The Spain international has had two possible destinations ruled out as Atletico Madrid serve their ban transfer ban and Tianjin Quanjian, along with the rest of the Chinese Super League, were burdened with a 100% tax on transfers by the authorities. However, Milan are also said to be interested. Meanwhile, Michy Batshuayi could also leave with clubs in France, Italy and England lining up for a mixture of permanent deals and loan offers.</blockquote>
