Romelu Lukaku ended the season on a tear, but Inter will have to negotiate with Chelsea to bring him back. The marksman considers his time in London over even though they appointed Mauricio Pochettino. The two talked directly lately, but the Belgian international wants to stay in Milan, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.
The Nerazzurri and the Blues will engage in concrete talks to make it happen after June 10th’s Champions League final. The Italian side has no set option to make his acquisition permanent. Considering his valuation, even though it will naturally decrease over time through amortization, they will most likely pursue another temporary move.
Inter will try to spend less than the €20M disbursed to have Lukaku this campaign. They paid a €7.8M fee plus a portion of his wages. Not winning the Scudetto spared them a €4M bonus. The striker has made a life choice and would like to spend the next few years in Italy.
The Blues, which are in the process of trimming their squad, will have to turn to a different no.9. They are among the outfits after Dusan Vlahovic. However, Juventus want a huge fee to let go of the Serb, the publication adds.
Our Take on Lukaku, Inter, and Chelsea
It turned out that his issue was merely physical, as he has been dominant once he was fully healthy. Even though the Blues have an extra-large squad, they won’t just give away players, so the conversations will be interesting. Though, the outcome should eventually be the desired one.
