Chelsea appear to be preparing a bid to sign Victor Osimhen after Romelu Lukaku confirmed his desire to stay at Inter Milan. The Belgium international will return from his loan in the summer and, while he has a three-year contract to honour at Stamford Bridge, an exit seems increasingly likely.
Lukaku, who joined the Blues for £97.5million in 2021, has featured 22 times for Inter Milan in the Serie A this season, directly contributing towards 13 goals. While the 29-year-old initially struggled to find his feet, he's impressed recently and looked set to be given a second chance to redeem himself in west London.
However, a third bite of the cherry at Chelsea doesn't seem to be on the agenda, leaving the expected incoming Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino without a world-class striker upon his arrival. Following Inter's win over Empoli last month, Lukaku discussed his future.
