La Gazzetta Dello Sport reports that Inter striker Romelu Lukaku doesn’t want to return to Chelsea, so Inter are ready to extend his loan until 2024 and then make his move permanent.
The Belgian forward returned to Inter last summer after a disappointing one-year spell at Stamford Bridge where he had arrived in the summer of 2021 as the most expensive signing in the club’s history.
However, he failed to justify his €115m price tag scoring just eight goals in 26 Premier League games under Thomas Tuchel.
Lukaku returned to Inter on a dry loan deal last summer, meaning that Inter do not have an option or obligation to buy.
Nevertheless, according to Gazzetta, the Serie A giants and Chelsea have a gentlemen’s agreement to extend Lukaku’s stay at the Stadio Meazza until 2024.
Inter would pay €10m for another one-season loan, covering the striker’s salary and trying to include an option to buy in the deal.
Lukaku doesn’t want to return to Chelsea and the Blues are not planning to reunite with the 29-year-old so the Nerazzurri are confident that they’ll manage to strike a deal with the Premier League giants.
some scam.
some authorities need to look at this transfer its ridiculous
well, remember when i used to live in the country side, a neighbour who used to sell some of his pigeons, then when owners release the pigeons under the day they would return to the neighbours cage out of habit 😉
Great deal, for who exactly? Inter is paying 10 million a year for a player who has scored, what, one goal this year, and played 3-4? No wonder Chelsea are “letting him go”.
Lukaku is finished.
15M NET salary is insanity, Chelsea should be paying Inter for getting Lukaku out of their books!
Oh wait, that`s exactly what they did by buying Casadei at a nice price 😉
