Romelu Lukaku is desperate to move to Inter Milan on a permanent deal.
That’s according to Sky Sports News reporter Dharmesh Sheth, who claims the Belgian forward does not see his long-term future at Stamford Bridge, despite agreeing to sign for the club for the second time in his career two years ago in a deal worth a staggering £113m (TM).
And following another successful loan spell back with his former club last season, Lukaku, who scored 14 goals in 37 games, is understandably wanted by the Italians.
Romelu Lukaku is prepared to take a huge pay cut to leave Chelsea. ??
Chelsea are YET to receive an acceptable offer for the striker. ?
Inter Milan are putting together a deal worth £35m but that is expected to fall short of Chelsea’s estimations. ?

Interestingly, so determined to push for a move back to Serie A, the 30-year-old powerhouse striker is understood to be willing to take a ‘huge pay cut’ in order to help the deal across the line.
Chelsea, however, have yet to receive a proposal they’re willing to accept, so all eyes will now be on whether or not Inter Milan’s officials can return with an improved offer.
