Inter Milan CEO Giuseppe Marotta has admitted that the next steps for Romelu Lukaku are unclear as a decision regarding his future looks set to roll on into the summer. The Belgian's return to Italy hasn't gone as planned since moving on loan but still remains more comfortable there than in England.
Having moved from Inter to Chelsea in 2021 he only lasted one season of a five year deal before being shipped back to San Siro after a car crash of a campaign. After just three months he had fractured the dressing room at Stamford Bridge with an interview that undermined Thomas Tuchel, causing unrest for much of the rest of the season.
With Tuchel still in charge Lukaku had no immediate future in London, especially after making it clear he preferred Milan anyway. The circumstances at Stamford Bridge have certainly changed, with Tuchel no longer around, but the chances of the Belgian playing for the Blues next season still looks low.
