As often, the summer of the Blues is hectic. Marked by numerous sales and by a significant salary cut, Chelsea still has to settle several files including that of Romelu Lukaku. The striker, back from loan, wants to return to Inter Milan as soon as possible. Recruited in 2021 by Thomas Tuchel at the time, the Belgian had made a good start before injuring himself and alienating the locker room after an interview in which he said he regretted leaving Italy.
As the first friendlies approach for the Blues, Mauricio Pochettino had set Romelu Lukaku’s return to training for Wednesday. A wish that will probably not be granted since the 30-year-old Belgian does not plan to return to train with the Londoners according to The Telegraph. The striker continues to put pressure on his club, which does not want to give up its striker at any price. At the moment, Inter Milan is unable to provide the €40m demanded by Chelsea to repatriate Romelu Lukaku. The latter, not interested in a departure to Saudi Arabia, nor not Juventus, will have to wait, the Blues will not give him gifts.
