Chelsea trying to convince Belgian star to move to Saudi

Chelsea are set to let their striker Romelu Lukaku leave permanently this summer but they want him to consider a move to Saudi Arabia.

Lukaku is, however, only interested in returning to Serie side Inter Milan, journalist Rudy Galetti told GIVEMESPORT.

Popular transfer expert Fabrizio Romano had previously reported that Inter are set to return to the table with Chelsea over a transfer deal that would see Lukaku return to the San Siro.

While the Serie A giants are proposing a loan transfer that would include a buy clause and potential payment in instalments, Chelsea on the other hand are said to be unwilling to grant Lukaku another temporary exit.

The Belgian striker has already rejected a move to the Saudi Pro League, having snubbed a contract close to £39million-per-year at Al-Hilal.

Galetti recently revealed that the Blues are keen to sell Lukaku, while Al-Hilal are refusing to give up in their pursuit.

The journalist told GIVEMESPORT: “Chelsea are continuing to insist on convincing Romelu Lukaku to make a permanent move to Saudi Arabia.

“But he’s adamant he only wants to return to Italy to come back to Inter Milan.”
