Inter Milan CEO Giuseppe Marotta has confirmed Romelu Lukaku will return to Chelsea this summer after admitting the club are not looking to re-sign the striker on a permanent basis. The Inter chief suggested Lukaku is “not in good condition” and that they are “still waiting” to see the player they had at their disposal between 2019 and 2021.
Lukaku rejoined Inter on a season-long loan less than a year after Chelsea signed him for a club-record £97.5million. The Italian side paid a loan fee of €8million plus add-ons to bring the Belgium international back to San Siro.
However, his second stint at Inter has been far less fruitful, as injuries have limited his playing time this campaign. Remarkably, Lukaku has played 90 minutes just twice this season, in Inter’s first and most recent Serie A match.
