Chelsea warned they will have to pay over £100 million to secure powerhouse on four-year deal
Chelsea have been warned that Romelu Lukaku will cost over £100 million to sign this summer
The Belgian is one of three world-class options who are under serious consideration by the Chelsea hierarchy ahead of a potential swoop this summer, with Robert Lewandowski and Erling Haaland the other two linked with the club
Lukaku is a player that has firmly established himself as one of the very best strikers over in Seria A since his move from Manchester United just a few seasons ago and even helped the Italians to that title last summer
Recent reports have already claimed that Chelsea have made a couple of offers and are readying a third, but reports in the Sky Sports website have suggested that Chelsea will have to spend over £100 million to secure a deal.
Inter need to reduce their wage bill this summer and title-winning boss Antonio Conte left the club in May amid concerns about plans to cut his budget, but they do not want to sell Lukaku and would only allow him to leave if an offer was put on the table that they simply could not turn down
However, Lukaku is very happy and settled at Inter and ready to give his all next season.
After finishing in UEFA’s official team of Euro 2020, he went on holiday to the Caribbean and the USA, where he stuck rigidly to his personal training programme.
Sky Sports News’ Kaveh Solhekol on The Transfer Show:
“As far as the player is concerned, Lukaku is 100 per cent committed and focused on doing his job at Inter Milan.
“He loves playing at Inter, he is not going to kick up a fuss, and his attitude has been exemplary. Antonio Conte’s departure doesn’t concern Lukaku because he’s been rejuvenated since joining the club.
“Why would he leave Inter Milan?”
