Todd Boehly may struggle to repeat Romelu Lukaku trick to secure Chelsea transfer budget boost

Todd Boehly may have solved his first transfer problem since his consortium completed their takeover at the end of May. Every expectation is that Romelu Lukaku will return to Inter Milan and the San Siro in the near future following a testing year following his £97.5 million move last summer.

The La Dodgers owner is said to have taken on negotiations himself to manufacture the Belgian's season-long loan deal. The striker is set to take a pay cut to complete the move to the Nerazzurri, with the Blues reported set for a loan fee that could reach up to £10 million.

Following Marina Granovskaia's departure, Boehly has taken on the sporting director role and may have to find a way to repeat his early window magic. Before an issue with Lukaku, the Blues attempted to overcome the vast outlay they spent on Kepa Arrizabalaga.
