Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Inter Milan have submitted a second bid in the region of €30 million to sign Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku in the ongoing summer transfer window.
Both clubs will now once again start discussions over his move to Inter as the Belgian forward wants to play for only Italian clubs, despite interest from Saudi clubs. The Belgian is keen to return to the Giuseppe Meazza following two different spells there.
The 30-year-old was expected to return to training on Wednesday, but the player is keen to wait for both clubs to reach an agreement, as he wants to return to Inter. Hopefully, this can be arranged sooner rather than later.
However, Chelsea pushed his pre-season training date back to July 17. The former Everton striker is also open to giving up almost £1 million a year to ensure his move back to Italy goes through. The Blues have already turned down an offer from the Serie A club, and hopefully, we can hold out for a better deal.
The Blues are keen to recoup £40m for the Belgian striker, and Inter’s new offer falls well short of it. Hopefully with the Andre Onana money potentially coming in, Chelsea can convince Inter to up their offer.
While this is going on, keeping Lukaku is pointless as his heart doesn’t appear to be in staying put at Stamford Bridge. Since we require a seasoned number nine who can solve our goal-scoring problem—which the Belgian forward has miserably failed to do—we can reinvest the fee to bring in a reliable goalscorer.
Hopefully, Chelsea will reach a deal and sell the striker because we can no longer put up with him. If he manages to stay, he might also cause difficulties in the locker room and make Mauricio Pochettino’s already challenging work more difficult.
