Romelu Lukaku is the newest face emerging on Barcelona's radar this summer. The Belgian has reportedly been offered to the Catalans on loan.

Let's break down potential advantages and drawbacks of his possible summer move.

Even in his least prolific season in ten-ish years, the Belgian racked up a total of 14 goals and 7 assists in 37 games for Inter.
