President confirms Chelsea talks to happen over deal for £97M powerhouse

Inter president Steven Zhang claims the club are yet to hold talks with CHELSEA over a permanent deal for Romelu Lukaku, but has suggested conversations are on the way.

Lukaku was a massive flop for Chelsea last season and the Blues decided to send him back to Italian football with Inter Milan – despite the fact they didnt have an adequate replacement.

But Lukaku has no desire to make a return to Chelsea during the summer window and instead would like to stay with the Italian giants – who in return – are open to keeping him again for another season.

He has made it clear during his last stint with the Blues that he would prefer to be playing for Inter Milan and it appears that his attitude has not changed,

The Belgium international has struggled with injuries this season but still managed to end the campaign with 14 goals in all competitions.

Zhang, however, has indicated that Inter will attempt to work out a deal with Chelsea this summer

‘He [Lukaku] has shown to be a great forward for Inter, he’s an extraordinary guy,’ Zhang said after Inter’s defeat.

‘He’s under contract at Chelsea, so we’ll have to wait and speak with them to understand his situation.

‘There are many positive things to reflect on this season, it needs to be a starting point to continue our growth day after day.

‘Coming here and playing as we did in this final is something that will live long in the memory.’

Lukaku is done in the Premier League and that is why CHELSEA should allow him to leave.

He clearly does not want to be at Chelsea so there is no point in keeping him
