Inter confirm cut-price fee they paid to secure Romelu Lukaku loan from Chelsea

Official figures released by Inter Milan have confirmed that they struck an agreement worth €7.8million (£6.7m) with Chelsea to secure Romelu Lukaku's services for the season.

The Italian giants swooped for the Belgian striker in the summer - just 12 months after the Blues shelled out a record £97.5m fee to bring Lukaku back to Stamford Bridge for a second spell at the club.

Unfortunately, Lukaku's first year back at Chelsea was not a fruitful one. He made an electric start to life back in the Premier League, netting three times in as many matches, but the goals soon dried up. Lukaku mustered just five more league strikes during the remainder of the campaign and fell out of favour under Thomas Tuchel.
