Todd Boehly set to make this ‘final’ Romelu Lukaku transfer decision after striker wants Chelsea exit
According to reports, Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku wants to return to Inter Milan if the club can agree a deal with Chelsea this summer.
However, Sky Sports are reporting that although both parties want the move to formulate, Inter cannot afford to sign the Chelsea striker on a permanent deal and therefore, the only possible way the Belgian plays for the Nerazzurri next season would be if a loan deal is agreed upon.
This pathway would also be very expensive according to Calciomercato, who reports that Chelsea wants at least €20million for the 29-year-old to leave for a season.
Lukaku’s lawyer will meet Inter on Tuesday to enquire about the feasibility of a potential move back to Serie A, according to Sky Sports, but the final decision over his future will be down to Chelsea’s new owners.
Things haven’t worked out as planned for Lukaku and Chelsea since the 29-year-old moved back to Stamford Bridge for £97.5million last summer, as reported by Sky Sports, and admitted halfway through the season that he has a desire to return to Inter in the future in a controversial interview with Sky in Italy last December.
This is where things seemed to go off the rails for the Belgian as the striker would spend a lot of time on the bench thereafter. Lukaku found his way back into the side towards the end of the season which looked promising for his future but that now seems uncertain.
