Graham Potter has issued Romelu Lukaku an ultimatum regarding his future at Chelsea as the striker edges closer to an exit. The 29-year-old was heavily linked with a permanent move from Stamford Bridge after falling out of favour under Thomas Tuchel.
Lukaku struggled to acclimatise to the Premier League upon his return, and time under the German soon ran out, which saw him relegated to the sidelines. Due to Inter Milan's spending restrictions, the Italian giants were not willing to meet the Blues' asking price to sign the striker outright.
Instead, the Nerazzurri opted for a season-long loan, and Chelsea negotiated a fee to be paid for Lukaku's services. However, while the Belgium international is set to return to a new head coach at the end of the season following Tuchel's sacking, he still faces an uncertain future at the club.
