Lautaro Martinez can still follow Romelu Lukaku footsteps to seal Chelsea transfer this summer

The effort to unlock Romelu Lukaku's Inter Milan form has potentially come to an end. Lautaro Martinez has confirmed that he wants to remain an Inter Milan player for the foreseeable future. Martinez partnered with Lukaku in Inter's league winning attack for two seasons. The pair managed 104 goals and 35 assists between them. Their partnership was hailed as formidable.

According to The Athletic, Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea are admirers of Martinez. It would make perfect sense to sign him in hopes that he unlocks the potential that we have previously seen in Romelu Lukaku. In their two years spent together, they managed a goal tally that is out of this world.

As a Chelsea fan, I could only hope that we achieve that level of productivity from the attack in the nearby future. Unfortunately, despite the plans to unlock Lukaku, Martinez has apparently made plans of his own.
