Inter Milan have stated that Romelu Lukaku will return to Chelsea at the end of this season when his loan deal is up, but his parent club are not planning with the striker for next season.
Lukaku has been hit and miss for Inter this season with injuries hampering a lot of his season so far, and there is a chance the Italian club will not take him back.
Chelsea will have to make a plan if Inter Milan do not want Lukaku back, as they do not intend to have him in the squad next season.
As reported by Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea are not planning with Romelu Lukaku in their team next season.
The Belgian wants to stay at Inter Milan next season, but the Italian club are unsure of what they want to do themselves in terms of keeping the player after his loan deal is up.
Injuries have plagued the Belgian’s season, and Inter Milan are wary of paying a fee for a player they don’t know can stay fit.
Chelsea will look to sign a new striker in the summer window, and Lukaku is likely to be sold regardless of what Inter Milan want to do with his future.
The Blue’s will take a loss on Lukaku after signing him for £100million, but it’s unlikely to be a huge worry given that fee was paid under the last ownership.
Tense times for Lukaku and his future.
