Chelsea have taken a huge step towards finally finding a new club for Romelu Lukaku. The 29-year-old striker has been heavily linked with an exit from Stamford Bridge following the conclusion of his season-long loan at Inter Milan.
Lukaku, who sees his contract expire in 2026, featured 25 times for the Nerazzurri in the Serie A last term, finding the net just 10 times. The Belgium international suffered a number of injuries at the start of the season but, once he got into his groove, he quickly built a head of steam.
Lukaku enjoyed a great vein of form towards the backend of the campaign, but he didn't exactly cover himself in glory in the Champions League final against Manchester City. However, despite an unconvincing cameo off the bench in Istanbul, the Belgian was quickly linked with a move to the Nerazzurri on a permanent basis.
