Real Madrid are in another comparative slump and, again, it appears to be partly self-inflicted.<\/p>\n

Because the decision to sack Carlo Ancelotti, just a year after he won La Decima, is one which is seemingly coming back to haunt them.<\/p>\n

Zinedine Zidane is now at the helm and we wonder how long a notoriously short-tempered Real Madrid board will keep him there. If he is still manager at the start of next season he will be doing well.<\/p>\n

But a respected media source reports that Madrid are already lining up their major transfer targets for the summer.<\/p>\n

In response to recent speculation about Lukaku’s future Italian sports media outlet Gazetta World says<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cMoving to Juve could be a great move but watch out for PSG and Real Madrid.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 22-year-old has been on fire for Everton, scoring 61 in 117 appearances for the club, but he recently stated<\/a> his desire to play in The Champions League next term in a what some will see as a clear come and get me<\/em> plea:<\/p>\n

“That is the next step for me. I’m 23 next summer and I think it would be nice to play in the Champions League from next season.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

With lots of reported interest from several other mammoth clubs this could be one of the big transfers of the summer with his current club not keen to sell.<\/p>\n

But we would suggest that the player is absolutely ideal for The Premier League so perhaps he is more likely to stay in England than to move to Real Madrid.<\/p>\n

Lukaku has scored 12 goals in 43 caps for Belgium. <\/p>\n

You can see some of his better moments here.<\/p>\n
