Due to injury, Romelu Lukaku only made five appearances for Inter Milan this season. Still, the striker feels a lot more comfortable at San Siro than at Stamford Bridge. He would be only too happy to convert the loan into a permanent position.
“I hope to stay at Inter, Inter is everything for me”the striker underlines to Sky Sports, but is aware: “But we have to find a way with Chelsea.” It is planned to return to London in the summer, but there is no purchase option. The Belgian is under contract with the Blues until 2026.
It is questionable whether there can be a permanent return to Milan. A year and a half ago, the Londoners transferred 113 million euros to Italy. A sum that Inter probably neither can nor wants to raise.

The fact that Lukaku’s fourth Chelsea return was not a good one was also due to Thomas Tuchel, who has since been released: “I spoke to Chelsea about my relationship with the manager and decided to return to Inter. Things went very quickly and I’m happy.”
