Antonio Conte has made his peace with Chelsea after their failure to sign Romelu Lukaku, with the head coach blaming the player and his agent, Mino Raiola, for the Everton striker’s impending transfer to Manchester United, which could be announced as early as today.

The Italian is understood to feel betrayed by Lukaku as the pair have spoken on several occasions this summer and the Italian had formed the impression that he had his heart set on returning to Stamford Bridge. Instead, the 24-year-old now appears destined to join United.

It is understood that Chelsea matched United’s initial £75million up-front offer for Lukaku, but were unwilling to meet the agent fee (£10million) being demanded by Raiola, which they believe has been pivotal in the Belgium striker’s apparent desire to move to Old Trafford.

While Chelsea’s £75 million offer for Lukaku was made prior to United and Everton coming to an agreement this week, it has been enough to placate Conte, who is frustrated at missing out on his primary summer transfer target.

Chelsea fear that Lukaku is being guided towards United by Raiola — who took Paul Pogba, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan to the club 12 months ago — because of the agent’s financial interests rather than the player’s sporting objectives. Chelsea have also suffered as a result of United’s willingness to offer Wayne Rooney — notionally valued at £10 million — to Everton as part of the deal, which when Lukaku’s easily attainable performance and appearance targets are achieved will take the value of the overall package to a world-record £100 million.

Batshuayi, Hazard, Pedro, Willian, Traore, Kenedy, Abraham, Solanke, Musonda...Don't even need to buy.
