Chelsea’s Transfer Saga Continues Amid Lukaku’s Return RumorsChelsea’s Transfer Saga Continues Amid Lukaku’s Return Rumors Chelsea’s ongoing transfer saga has taken another twist with the resurgence of rumors linking Romelu Lukaku with a return to Stamford Bridge. The Belgian striker, who left Chelsea for Inter Milan in 2019, has been linked with a move back to his former club throughout the summer. However, talks between the two clubs have been complicated by Chelsea’s pursuit of other targets. Despite Chelsea’s interest in Erling Haaland and Robert Lewandowski, neither deal has materialized, leaving the Blues short of a top-class center-forward. This has reignited speculation that Lukaku could be a viable option. According to reports, Inter Milan are willing to part ways with Lukaku if they receive an acceptable offer. The Serie A champions are reportedly looking for a fee in the region of £90 million, which is significantly lower than the £115 million Chelsea paid for him three years ago. Lukaku himself is said to be open to a return to England and would relish the opportunity to prove himself in the Premier League once again. The 28-year-old has enjoyed a successful spell at Inter, scoring 64 goals in 95 appearances, but he is believed to be eager for a new challenge. Chelsea have a good relationship with Inter Milan, having signed Fikayo Tomori and Achraf Hakimi from the Italian club in the past. This could facilitate negotiations, but it remains to be seen whether the Blues will meet Inter’s asking price. If Lukaku does return to Chelsea, he would provide the team with a proven goalscorer and a physical presence in the final third. However, his arrival would likely mean that Timo Werner would have to play out wide, a position he is less comfortable in. As the transfer window approaches its end, Chelsea are running out of time to find a suitable striker. The Lukaku rumors are sure to intensify in the coming days, but whether a deal can be reached remains unclear.
