Chelsea and Inter Milan will continue to hold talks over the structure of a loan move for Romelu Lukaku in the coming days – and the Belgian forward is very confident he will complete a return to San Siro this summer, football.london understands.
Lukaku returned to Stamford Bridge in a deal worth £97.5million last August and was expected to spearhead a Premier League title bid under Thomas Tuchel. The 29-year-old made the ideal start with four goals in his opening four matches but Lukaku's form then dipped and he suffered an ankle injury against Malmo in the Champions League which kept him out for a month.
The Belgium international was eased slowly back into the side and struck goals against Aston Villa and Brighton over the Christmas period. Then came Lukaku's hugely controversial and unsanctioned interview with Sky Italia in which he claimed he was "not happy" with his situation at Chelsea and admitted he would like to return to Inter in the future.
