Chelsea set for 'direct talks' Romelu Lukaku with Inter as transfer solution eyed

Chelsea and Inter are set to discuss the future of Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku with the player keen for a return to the San Siro.

The Blues signed Lukaku last summer for a fee in the region of £100million but the 29-year-old has struggled to hit the heights he reached whilst playing for Inter. Lukaku is reportedly keen to return to the Italian side with direct communication between Chelsea and Inter set to start this week.

The Belgium international apologised for his comments during the 2021/22 season in which he declared his love for his former side and admitting he was 'not happy' with his situation at Chelsea. Thomas Tuchel opted to utilise Kai Havertz as his first choice striker for the majority of the season, with Lukaku now searching for an exit from Stamford Bridge.
