Roberto Firmino swap deal emerges as Romelu Lukaku 'transfer fate sealed'

Romelu Lukaku looks set to return to Chelsea this summer as Inter have decided not to renew his loan deal – with Roberto Firmino and Marcus Thuram on the Italian club's radar.

Firmino has decided not to extend his contract with the Reds and will walk away from Anfield at the end of this season. The 31-year-old was in talks over a new deal at the club but will not extend his stay and instead pursue a new challenge, with clubs aware he is available as a free agent.

The Brazilian is wanted by Inter, who are seeking to bolster their frontline this summer with Lukaku set to leave the Milanese giants. He is now set to return to Stamford Bridge, which means the Blues will have a decision on whether to keep him or, more likely, attempt to sell him permanently.
