Inter’s stance on Lukaku’s return revealed

Romelu Lukaku is reportedly willing to return to Inter at the end of the season, but according to multiple reports, the Nerazzurri are not planning to re-sign the Chelsea striker.

Lukaku has only scored ten goals at Stamford Bridge this season and was left on the bench in the last Champions League match against Lille on Tuesday.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport and Il Corriere della Sera, he wants to return to Inter and is ready to take a pay cut to play at San Siro again.

Gazzetta: unhappy Lukaku wants Inter return

However, multiple reports, including Gazzetta and FCInter1908, insist that Inter are not planning to re-sign the Belgium international. The Serie A champions want to cut costs and can’t afford to pay the same fee (€113m) invested by the Premier League champions less than a year ago. FCInter1908 deny that Lukaku is in contact with Inter directors.

In December, the 28-year-old released an interview with Sky Sport Italia, claiming that he’d like to return to San Siro one day, offering his apology for the way he left in the summer. However, this may not be enough to see him return to the black and blue half of Milan.
