According to recent reports, Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku has requested to not only be involved in his side’s pre-season friendly on Sunday against Parma but also asked to be allowed to join Chelsea.
That’s according to a recent report from Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla, who claims that Lukaku, 28, now wants to rejoin Chelsea – seven years after leaving in a permanent deal to join Everton.
Despite firing the Nezzuari to their 19th Serie A title last season, the prolific Belgium international is now being tipped to make a mega-move back to England’s top-flight.

Pedulla claims that following a recent personal call with Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia, the 28-year-old now sees his long-term future back in the Premier League and has requested his current side sanction a move.
These reports come shortly after leading football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported that the Blues are growing increasingly more confident that they can reach an agreement with Inter Milan.
