Inter want Lukaku on loan with obligation from Chelsea

The next Inter priority after Davide Frattesi is to get Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea, as they are said to be offering a loan with obligation to buy.

A deal was done with Sassuolo today for midfielder Frattesi, at circa €27m plus Samuele Mulattieri, on loan with obligation to make it permanent in 2024.

It is a similar process that the Nerazzurri will propose to Chelsea when it comes to Lukaku, who has been on loan at San Siro for the last season.

Inter director Beppe Marotta already said that Chelsea had accepted an offer of €50m to sell the Belgian to a club in Saudi Arabia, but that the player rejected the transfer because he had his heart set on the Nerazzurri.

Their own proposal for Lukaku will therefore go only close to that figure, seemingly €5m for the loan and €30m obligation to buy.

The obligation is activated only if Inter qualify for the Champions League, which is their minimum target for the season.
