Inter have confirmed the cut-price fee they paid to secure Romelu Lukaku's return on-loan from Chelsea in the summer transfer window.
Lukaku's first year back at Chelsea did not go as planned after he enjoyed a brilliant start, scoring three goals in as many matches, before falling out of favour under Thomas Tuchel and only netting five more Premier League strikes during the remainder of the campaign. The Belgian striker did not help his own cause after he apologised for comments made in an interview mid-season in which he criticised Tuchel and hinted at a return to Inter.
The Blues replaced Lukaku with the arrivals of Raheem Sterling and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang but the Belgium international has shown he is still capable of performing having registered three goal contributions in four appearances so far this term. Lukaku has struggled with a hamstring injury so far this campaign but returned with a goal off the bench in the UEFA Champions League clash against Viktoria Plzen earlier this week.
