Romelu Lukaku doesn't look as close to returning to Inter Milan as once thought, with the 28-year-old subject to a brutal reality check. The striker has been heavily linked with a move back to his former club this summer following an underwhelming homecoming at Stamford Bridge this season.
He has struggled to acclimatise to the Premier League upon his return, finding the net 17 times in 44 appearances. Lukaku's misfortune in front of goal has cast doubt over his future in west London, though he's still managed to garner interest in his services from several top European sides.
The Belgium international has been linked to Bayern Munich, Inter and Tottenham. Sky Italia claim that the Blues have given the green light to his exit, with Lukaku reportedly wanting to cut ties with Thomas Tuchel.
