Mauricio Pochettino is planning to speak with Romelu Lukaku once he returns to Chelsea from his loan spell at Inter Milan. The Argentine will look to assess the entire squad at his disposal ahead of next season before making any decisions on who will be sold and who will stay at Stamford Bridge.
football.london reported last week that an agreement had been reached between the Blues and Pochettino for the 51-year-old to become the Blues' new head coach. The Belgian has scored five goals and provided a further three assists in his last four Serie A appearances, putting him in contention to start Tuesday night’s Champions League semi-final second-leg with AC Milan.
The Belgian forward has been hampered by injuries throughout the 2022/23 campaign after returning to the San Siro on loan, following a disappointing season at Stamford Bridge. Lukaku completed a £98million move to Chelsea in 2021 but quickly fell out of favour under Thomas Tuchel before pushing for a return to Inter a year later.
