Atlético Madrid has reportedly agreed to acquire Romelu Lukaku on a loan from Chelsea.

Chelsea is bringing in Diego Costa to play striker from Atleti and may also acquire Mario Mandžukić from Bayern Munich.

Several days ago, Lukaku admitted that he wanted to leave Chelsea and he would use the 2014 World Cup to set the stage for a possible transfer. Lukaku spent last season at Everton.

“You know Chelsea: every year they buy a new top striker. I remember me coming into the dressing room last year and seeing Samuel Eto’o and Demba Ba and going: ‘Whoah! What’s happening here?’ But no problem. Many clubs are interested in me.

“At this stage I have to look to myself. I have to play a good World Cup. That’s very interesting for all the players looking for a transfer, and I must be one of them. Chelsea know my point of view.”
