According to the Dailymail; Romelu Lukaku has’rejected’ a move to Tottenham and is only interested in returning to Inter Milan. Lukaku joined Chelsea from Inter for a club-record £97.5 million last summer, but the Belgian striker has battled for form, and his old club is planning an aggressive offer to bring him back to Italy....CONTINUE READING THE FULL ARTICLE>>>
Despite the fact that Lukaku has just been back in the Premier League for almost a year, he already appears destined to go – but that hasn’t stopped Tottenham and Antonio Conte from launching a bold approach to sign him, according to Italian journalist Fabio Bergomi.
However, according to Sport Witness, Lukaku has’rejected Conte and Tottenham’ and ‘only wants’ to join Inter if he leaves Stamford Bridge this summer. During Lukaku’s final season in Milan, Conte was in charge of Inter when the Italian giants won the Scudetto.
Despite Lukaku’s poor season at Stamford Bridge, Bergomi claims the Blues will demand a massive €20 million (£17 million) loan fee to allow the former Inter star to go this summer.
If Lukaku is offered the chance to return to Milan in the coming weeks, he will almost certainly have to suffer a significant financial cost to make the move happen.
Lukaku is reported to be making roughly £3 million more a year after taxes at Chelsea, according to a fresh claim from The Daily Mail, a sum that Inter would be unable to match.
However, according to the article, the Italian giants feel that their former talisman would be ‘willing’ to accept a big pay cut in exchange for a return to the San Siro.
Despite returning to England after two of his most productive seasons, Lukaku only managed eight Premier League goals last season and was far from a sure starter under Thomas Tuchel, who has been irritated by some of the striker’s contentious public comments.
The American investor, who also owns the Los Angeles Dodgers, completed his £4.25 billion buy of Chelsea earlier this week, putting an end to months of doubt about the club’s future.
After the UK Government placed penalties on the club’s previous owner, Roman Abramovich, the Londoners were forced to operate under a variety of constraints.
Chelsea was therefore barred from participating in the transfer market or contract negotiations with players. However, now that the sanctions have been lifted, the new-look Stamford Bridge hierarchy will be debating the long-term prospects of a number of players, including Lukaku.
