The mess over Romelu Lukaku's future could not be more of an obvious red flag for Chelsea's next owners when deciding where funds should be allocated this summer. The Belgian's future is far from bright, to some supporters, he is almost viewed as poorly as an opposing player within the current squad.
Where Lukaku ends up come the beginning of next season will be a major decision and one that may require an instant loss by new ownership. They are able to justify that this mess was not of their own making and that it is the only amicable solution to a sorry story.
If Lukaku and others walk out the door this summer, it is imperative those who come in are bought with a different mindset. One that is no longer aiming for pure name power and solely what suits this current Chelsea squad under Thomas Tuchel.
