According to reports in Italy, Romelu Lukaku’s potential return to Inter would see Paulo Dybala join Roma, but the Nerazzurri must reach an agreement with Chelsea by the end of June.
Lukaku is unhappy at Stamford Bridge, where he has failed to justify his €113m price tag and, for this reason, he is pushing to return to Inter. However, with the Nerazzurri struggling financially, they can only afford the striker’s return on loan.
They could also benefit from the Growth Decree if Lukaku returns to the club by the end of June, so before the end of the financial year. Inter can’t afford Lukaku’s €14m-a-year salary and need him to take a 50% pay cut to earn €7m net; €10m gross, thanks to the Growth Decree.
According to Sportmediaset, Inter directors could meet the intermediary Sebastien Ledure tomorrow.
As of today, Inter can’t get both Lukaku and Paulo Dybala, so Il Corriere dello Sport reports the Argentinean could move to Roma if Lukaku joins Inter. However, if Lautaro Martinez leaves for a suitable offer, the Nerazzurri would get both Lukaku and La Joya.
