Romelu Lukaku is closing in on a return to Inter Milan on loan this summer after enduring a difficult first season back at Chelsea.
The Belgian striker has made it abundantly clear that he wants to return to the San Siro after a poor season at Stamford Bridge, in which he scored 15 goals in 44 appearances after he returned to west London in a club record deal worth £97.5million.
Lukaku, 29, will be seeking to regain his best form in Milan after it appears that his exit from Chelsea was approved by new Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly.
Lukaku only made 16 Premier League starts under Thomas Tuchel from which he scored eight goals, but Kai Havertz was often favoured ahead of the former Manchester United striker to lead the line.
Inter were pipped to retaining the Scudetto by their arch rivals AC Milan who won their first Serie A title in 11 years.
Simone Inzaghi will be hoping Lukaku’s return proves the difference in next season’s fight to reclaim the league crown.
