Chelsea decision confirms £300k-a-week powerhouse on the move!

Chelsea have all but confirmed that Romeu Lukaku will be departing the club this summer window.

The 30-year-old striker re-joined CHELSEA in 2021 for a then club record £97.5million deal from Inter Milan after a stunning season with the Italians in which he broke the 30-goal barrier.

However – despite all the hype surrounding his move back to Stamford Bridge – it did not work out like many had hoped for and after just one season at the club – he was ultimately loaned back to the Italian giants.

Now Lukaku wants to leave the club permanently, and the Blues are very keen to make sure that he is sold this transfer window.

WHAT IS THE LATEST – 

Chelsea released their squad for the upcoming season this week and there was some noticeable omissions from the side.

Lukaku has not reclaimed his No.9 after returning from his loan at Inter Milan, nor have any of the new forwards at Stamford Bridge.

Journalist Paul Brown recently claimed Lukaku wants to leave Chelsea and Chelsea don’t want Lukaku.

Speaking to GiveMeSport, he said: “If Lukaku goes the other way and outscores Vlahovic and wins more things, you’d be thinking why didn’t it work for him at Chelsea? I think the questions would come up again.

“Only time will tell who might get the best deal out of that one, but Lukaku wants to go. The club want to see him out as well, so any deal they can do to facilitate that has got to be a positive, surely.”

CHELSEA need to make sure that they get some good money for the striker and use it for an immediate replacement – but one thing is for certain – he should never have made the move back to London in the first place.

So he is hoping that a new deal can get wrapped up sooner rather than later – as he needs to get ready for the new season in Italy.
