Romelu Lukaku could break £77m transfer promise as Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel remains upbeat

Romelu Lukaku has emerged as a target for AC Milan in the summer transfer window, but if the 28-year-old commits to a deal then he'll be breaking a heartfelt promise. The Belgian striker faces an increasingly uncertain future at Chelsea after he was booed off the pitch by fans in the Blues' 4-2 loss to Arsenal.

The Italian giants could offer the Belgium international an escape route out of Stamford Bridge, according to Goal. Though, the report outlines that a move for the £77m-rated striker could be 'complicated' by the eye-watering cost.

Lukaku has struggled to acclimatise himself to the Premier League upon his return to west London in the summer from Inter Milan. He's scored just 12 goals in 38 appearances this season and his misfortunes in front of goal have seen him relegated to the bench.
