Romelu Lukaku Faces Embarrassing Return To Chelsea
Romelu Lukaku intends to stay at Inter and does not want to return to his parent club Chelsea

Romelu Lukaku faces an embarrassing return to his parent club Chelsea at the end of the season according to Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport.

The Belgian is currently out on loan at Inter Milan and has been public in his desire to stay there. However, he’s yet to convince the club bosses that they should hold on to him.

So far this season, Lukaku has only scored twice in 11 games, starting just four matches and missing a chunk of the campaign with injury issues.

When Chelsea agreed to loan Lukaku out to Inter, they discussed a possible second loan deal for the 2023-24 season. Now, it is in danger.

Lukaku is still the most expensive player in Chelsea’s history: his transfer from Inter in 2021 cost the Blues €115 million.

He failed to meet the expectations, scoring just 15 goals in 44 games for the club while also openly pining for a return to Inter.
