Romelu Lukaku transfer decision reached as Chelsea lose out amid Liverpool 'agreement'

Italian giants AC Milan have reportedly rejected the chance to sign Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku this summer having already found an alternative. The current Serie A leaders have been linked with a move for the Belgian striker following his slow start to life back at Stamford Bridge.

After returning to west London in a club record £97.5million deal from Inter Milan, he has struggled to hit the heights expected of him. He has just 12 goals in all competitions - only five of those coming in the Premier League - whilst Kai Havertz has regularly been preferred to lead the line under Thomas Tuchel in recent months.

A number of contenders for his services have already been mentioned. Former club Inter have consistently been linked, with Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan also reportedly interested. The latter though appear to have made a definitive decision on a summer move.
