Thomas Tuchel sacking could cost Chelsea extra £61m as Todd Boehly decision unearths huge issue

Chelsea could miss out on millions next summer after Todd Boehly decided to sack Thomas Tuchel. This is according to Inter Milan CEO Giuseppe Marotta, who has said that the German's exit could open the door for Romelu Lukaku to return to Stamford Bridge.

The Belgium international was heavily linked with a permanent exit from Stamford Bridge this summer after falling out of favour under Tuchel. Lukaku struggled to acclimatise to the Premier League following a £97.5million move and time under the German soon ran out which often saw him relegated to the sidelines.

However, due to Inter Milan's spending restrictions amid Financial Fair Play concerns, the Italian giants were not willing to meet the Blues' asking price and sign the 29-year-old outright. Instead, the Nerazzurri opted for a season-long loan and Chelsea negotiated a fee to be paid for Lukaku's services.
