Chelsea and Inter Milan are continuing to talk as the two clubs strive to come to an agreement that will bring the Blues’ big-name signing turned misfit Romelu Lukaku back to San Siro.
According to sources, the two clubs are discussing the prospect of a loan deal, but there is one big stumbling block that is supposed to be delaying things down.
The loan cost for the 29-year-old striker must be negotiated, but that isn’t the major issue. Inter are willing to cover Lukaku’s whole salary, which Chelsea appreciates, as well as a €5 million loan fee, which Chelsea does not. The residents of West London are anticipating more, but a resolution is expected in this respect.
Chelsea’s willingness to bring players in the opposite way appears to be the biggest roadblock to finding a solution right now. The Blues have shown an interest in right-back Denzel Dumfries and center-back Alessandro Bastoni so far, but Inter are said to desire a direct transfer with no additional players involved.
Todd Boehly, the new owner of Chelsea, isn’t persuaded that letting the striker go on loan is the wisest option. Lukaku has developed a positive relationship with the American and is choosing to be loyal and professional to the club during this period.
