Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku is attracting the attention of Barcelona as his rift with Jose Mourinho worsens, according to reports in SpainThe forward is on loan at Everton where he has been in superb form but has been involved in a public spat with Mourinho over his future.
The Belgium star claimed at the weekend that he has not heard from the Blues boss for two months and stated that he would stay at Everton for another season-long loan if they qualified for next season's Champions League.
Mourinho snapped back that Lukaku was not revealing all the details over his decision to swap Stamford Bridge for Goodison - he also dismissed the frontman's claims that he might make the decision to remain at Everton.
The clear fracture in the relationship between the exciting 20-year-old, who already has eight goals in nine Premier League matches this season, has been like music to the ears of Barca's technical directors and head coach Tata Martino is interested in a summer move, according to Spanish paper Sport.
Chelsea are not interested in bids for the Drogba-esque finisher at the moment but if he continues to be disruptive - and a deal for Radamel Falcao can be tied up - then he might be offloaded with the west London side
preferring to sell to a club outside of England.
