Chelsea are ready to allow Romelu Lukaku to remain on loan at Inter Milan next season before writing off millions by selling him, according to reports in Italy.
The Belgium striker returned to Stamford Bridge in a Chelsea record deal of £97m in the summer of 2021 in the last big deal of the Roman Abramovich deal. But Lukaku, now 29, failed to settle back in London and gave an explosive interview last December saying he wanted to return to Italy.
A one-year loan deal was agreed to go back to Inter Milan this season with the Serie A club paying his €12m-a-year wages and a €8m loan fee plus a further potential €3m in bonuses.
