Chelsea anticipate signing Inter Milan striker

Chelsea are apparently pressing ahead with plans to re-sign Romelu Lukaku from Inter Milan this summer transfer window.

With Olivier Giroud and Tammy Abraham both  facing questionable fates in the English capital, Thomas Tuchel probably wants to focus on a move for another striker ahead of the new season.

Erling Braut Haaland and Harry Kane are both being unequivocally connected with moves to Stamford Bridge, but the former’ association with Tottenham Hotspur and latter’s guarantee to respect his Borussia Dortmund contract could constrain Chelsea to look somewhere else.

Inter Milan are in financial trouble regardless of wrestling the Serie A crown off of Juventus’ hand, and the Daily Mail along these lines asserts that Lukaku is viewed as a sensible target to reinforce Tuchel’s attack.

The report guarantees that Inter Milan actually value Lukaku as a £100m-player, but Chelsea are certain of bringing the price down given the Nerazzurri’s urgent need to raise funds.

The 28-year-old scored 24 goals and assisted 10 more in 36 Serie An appearances last term, however he only made 15 appearances in his first spell for Chelsea prior signing for Everton in 2014.
