Inter prepares €8 million loan fee for Chelsea’s Romelu Lukaku

Inter have told Chelsea they are willing to pay around €8 million to sign Romelu Lukaku on loan, Italian media giant, Calciomercato confirms.

This is following talks between the two clubs regarding Lukaku’s return to San Siro on loan.

The Belgian striker had re-joined Chelsea from the Serie A club last summer, but scored just eight Premier League goals.

Inter Milan are now confident they can complete a loan deal for the striker after the clubs held further talks on Friday over the make up of the deal.

Prior to this development, Lukaku had in December told Sky Sport in Italy that he wanted to return to Inter one day.

He said: “I really hope in the depths of my heart to return to Inter, not at the end of my career, but at a still good level to hopefully win more.”
