With Alvaro Morata and Gonzalo Higuain both rumoured to be on the way out of their respective sides, the two outfits are on the lookout for attacking reinforcements.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Bianconeri coach Massimiliano Allegri is an admirer of Lukaku and believes that the Belgian forward has a complementary skill set to that of Paulo Dybala.

The player, however, has previously revealed to the press that he already turned down the chance to join Juventus last summer.

The Partenopei, meanwhile, are reportedly evaluating Lukaku as well as his compatriot Christian Benteke, currently plying his trade with Liverpool.

The 23-year-old has maintained stunning form throughout his season with the Toffees, scoring 18 goals and delivering seven assists over 37 Premier League appearances.
