Romelu Lukaku 'wants' return to Italy - but tax rules present obstacle

Romelu Lukaku is reportedly eager to leave Chelsea and secure a move back to Italy less than a year after a record-breaking £97.5million move — but tax rules could scupper his Serie A return.

The 29-year-old finished the campaign as the Blues' top goalscorer with 14 goals in all competitions but has endured a disappointing second spell in west London. The club's record buy from Inter Milan has largely flattered to deceive with only eight goals in the Premier League for Thomas Tuchel’s side.

According to reports in Italy, Lukaku has his sights set on moving back to Serie A this summer after just one season back in England. Tuttomercatoweb claim AC Milan are keen on the Blues star, along with Juventus, but Italian tax rules mean that any potential deal would be complicated and therefore unlikely.
