Romelu Lukaku is reportedly desperate to return to Inter amidst the chaos at Chelsea, realising that he made a mistake last summer.
The British government’s decision to impose sanctions on Blues owner Roman Abramovich recently has thrown the West London club into turmoil, with many players now reportedly contacting lawyers in order to explore their futures. A buyer will soon be found for Chelsea, but in the meantime no transfer market activity can take place.
As reported by Calciomercato.com, Lukaku is incredibly keen to return to Inter, feeling as if the Chelsea move was a big mistake. His experience in West London has been disastrous from all points of view, from performances to the relationship with the fans and the understanding with his teammates.
The Belgian striker is ready to lower his salary in order to facilitate a return to the Nerazzurri and he’s already started to joke about his return with some of his former teammates. Many players have received a message from Lukaku in recent days hinting at a possible return.
It would be a complex deal but Lukaku is ready to do whatever it takes to get things across the line. Chelsea paid €115m for Lukaku last summer and so the only ways he could return to Lombardy are either a dry loan deal or a two-year loan with an obligation to buy clause attached.
Should the latter take shape, Inter would have to accept the idea of paying a significant sum for a then-31-year-old Lukaku in the summer of 2024.
