20 transfers that were hijacked by clubs: Part 2

Romelu Lukaku

Romelu Lukaku was poised to move back to Chelsea until Man United intervened

The latest deal to be hijacked involves Chelsea and Manchester United. Chelsea might have hijacked more - Pedro, Drogba, Hazard to name a few - but this time, Manchester United stole from the striker from under Chelsea’s nose.

Chelsea were in negotiations with the player for a long time and thought no other club were interested, hence they took their own sweet time. Meanwhile, Manchester United grew impatient with Real Madrid regarding Morata and turned their attention to the Belgian. In the end, United secured him for a fee of £75m and further add ons.
