Romelu Lukaku arrived in Italy. But he did not put on the Inter shirt again. Yet.The Belgian is on holiday in Sardinia and is trying to direct a transfer that will save his career. The return from Inter to Chelsea turned out to be an infamous episode, now he hopes that the transfer in the opposite direction will have the opposite effect.Lukaku is trying his best to get a return to Inter, even though it seemed like a completely crazy idea until just a few weeks ago. Let us remind you, Chelsea paid 113 million euros for the Belgian striker last summer, gave him a huge contract and welcomed him as a capital reinforcement. But Lukaku quickly got into a conflict with coach Tuchel and spent most of the season as a reserve. There are no indications that relations have been smoothed out, and the Belgian first decided to take his destiny into his own hands. He first fired agent Federico Pastorello, then called Inter and expressed a desire to return, and then informed Chelsea that he had such intentions.Sat 21:45: (4.40) Wales (3.60) Belgium (1.92)However, desires are one thing and possibilities are another. And Inter’s financial possibilities are very modest, and that is why this operation seemed like an mission impossible. However, day by day the situation is improving and the chances are growing. First, Lukaku expressed his readiness to give up a third of his salary and that instead of the 12 million euros he receives at Chelsea, he earns 7.5 million euros at Inter. That is a serious factor in the whole story.The hardest thing is to convince Chelsea, who paid a lot of money this summer. Inter cannot pay even close to the mentioned amount.”Personally, I am convinced that he will have a great season. Last season we saw how strong he can be when he enters the pitch. Unfortunately, the injury against Aston Villa slowed him down, and then got struck by coronavirus. But at the end of the season, when he was fit, we saw how good he is.”, said Chelsea director Petr Cech today.From his words, it could be concluded that the Blues do not intend to release the Belgian. Or is it perhaps a signal to Inter to take the initiative?🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚! Chelsea are willing to let Romelu Lukaku leave on loan.Negotiations will start with Inter Milan. ⏳The Belgian is ready to halve his salary to secure a return to Italy.(Source: Sky Italia) pic.twitter.com/mZOCAWWco6— Transfer News Live (@DeadlineDayLive) June 7, 2022 Nerazzurri can only manage a loan deal. For which Chelsea are willing if paid. Which is another step forward because the English club was not for that option until a few days ago. Now the amount of about 23 million euros is mentioned only for the loan. Huge amount of money for a loan, but it shows a hidden solution as well. Inter have some players they could include in the deal that Chelsea would love to see in their ranks. So far, the Blues have shown interest in Bastoni, Barella, Skriniar, De Vrij… The first two are not for sale, but the Slovak and the Dutch are. And as of today, the name of Denzel Dumfries is appearing in that combo.Barca’s (over)ambitious response to De Jong’s departure – Bernardo SilvaAlthough the Dutch right-back left a very good impression in his debut season, he could be sacrificed for Lukaku. Inter need about 60 million euros from the sale of players until June 30. And that is the last deadline for Lukaku’s arrival, because the tax on his salary after the mentioned date would be far higher and unacceptable for the club. Inter value Dumfries at around 40 million euros, and Chelsea are more than interested. Especially since Cesar Azpilicueta wants to move to Barcelona. For Tuchel’s style of play, the Dutchman is even more useful than the experienced Spaniard, and Inter have been scanning the market for days in search of a player in that position – Juan Cuadrado, Raoul Belanova, Manuel Lazzari, Wilfried Singo are mentioned…Lukaku’s arrival to Sardinia only fuels rumors that he will personally meet with the executives of Inter, and it is already known that he will be in a meeting with Chelsea’s board in London on June 16. And it is expected for him to bring an offer from Italy to that meeting.
