Chelsea have requested a swap deal with Inter Milan that would see Nicolo Barella switch with Romelu Lukaku in the summer transfer window. The Blues have held a meeting with the Nerazzurri in the past week, football.london understands, which discussed a range of players.
Kalidou Koulibaly, Trevoh Chalobah, Andre Onana and Lukaku were on the agenda as the two teams look to get their own business done. The latter joined the Blues from Inter two years ago for a huge fee nearing £100million, but they haven't quite seen a return on that investment.
While the Belgian international started well, a mixture of injuries hampered his playing time, while the relationship with fans deteriorated after an interview aired where he claimed that a move back to his former club would be on the cards in the future. Following a second half of the campaign that had its struggles, Chelsea looked to find a way to move the striker on.
