Inter Milan sporting director Piero Ausilio has confirmed that the club are hoping to sign Romelu Lukaku this summer. The 30-year-old striker faces an increasingly uncertain future at Chelsea following the expiration of his loan at the San Siro.
Lukaku, who sees his contract at Stamford Bridge expire in 2026, featured 25 times for the Nerazzurri in the Serie A last term, scoring 10 goals. The Belgium international suffered numerous injuries at the start of the season but, once he got into his groove, he quickly built a head of steam.
While Inter are eager to secure his services on a permanent basis, they're said to be short on cash. According to The Telegraph, last month, Chelsea refused the Italian outfit's bid to take Lukaku on another loan.
