Mauricio Pochettino has been told that Chelsea must 'get rid' of Romelu Lukaku at all costs. The 29-year-old striker will return from a season-long loan at Inter Milan this summer and, despite having left on sour terms, he's expected to be given a second chance in west London.
Lukaku, who sees his contract at Stamford Bridge expire in 2026, has featured 24 times for the Nerazzurri in the Serie A this term, directly contributing towards 15 goals. The Belgium international suffered a number of injuries at the start of the season but, once he got into his grove, he quickly built a head of steam.
After failing to find the net over the weekend, Lukaku has just one more game to prove himself worthy of a place in Pochettino's squad next season - the Champions League final. Despite his role in Inter's road to the European final against Manchester City, Frank Leboeuf has insisted that the Belgian must sold this summer.
