All of his wages will be paid by Inter, with the player set to undergo a medical next week to confirm the transfer.

Romelu Lukaku could make a "huge difference" to Inter's attack should he return to the club from Chelsea, according to Blues legend Gianfranco Zola.

"When she said that I was in the squad, it just reaffirmed the confidence that she has in me to make a difference. "I wouldn't want to be part of the squad if you didn't feel that I was ready to participate or to give something to the team.

ROMELU LUKAKU is set to rejoin Inter Milan on a season-long loan deal over the coming weeks.

Lukaku is reportedly set to undergo a medical in Italy next week before rubber-stamping his long-awaited return to Inter in advance of the upcoming campaign. A breakthrough was reached in talks between Chelsea and Inter earlier this week after things initially appeared to be going south with regards to the Italian club's pursuit of the deal. Chelsea forward Romelu Lukaku was reduced to tears upon being informed that he will be returning to Inter Milan on a temporary basis ahead of the upcoming season, according to reports.

Lukaku told Sky in December last year: "I don't think any of it should have happened the way it did. Tuchel confirmed Lukaku was fined and attempted to draw a line and move on from the interview, but the striker went on to become a backup player in the latter stages of the season. I really hope so.

In doing so, the Blues will hope he can build a team capable of supporting a striker that can end their goalscoring issues. Another factor perhaps hampering Chelsea's forwards has been the fact that the club have had four head coaches in the last five seasons, each of which have brought their own tactics, preferences and demands. But on the other hand, Chelsea had a remarkable knack of finding goals from other areas - particularly defence. But while the statistics make grim reading for Lukaku, it's perhaps harsh to single him out as an underperforming forward in Chelsea's team. It's hard to make the argument that Chelsea did not provide enough service to their striker. Tuchel's comments came in the wake of Romelu Lukaku's infamous performance at Crystal Palace which saw him touch the ball just seven times.

'I would have kept him. The 29-year-old Belgian striker is contracted at Stamford Bridge until 2026 but his desire to make a return to Inter has been evident since his infamous Sky Italia interview. O'Hara also told Football Daily that Tuchel should have done more to keep Lukaku at Stamford Bridge, and perhaps did not do enough to convince him to stay and fight for his place in the side as he looks set to return to Inter Milan on loan. Lukaku's arrival last summer on a club record fee appeared to be a sign of intent from Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel, and although he scored four times in his first four games, the Belgian fell away as the season progressed, scoring just eight times in the Premier League. - The struggling Belgian forward is poised to make a return to Inter Milan on loan Romelu Lukaku's £97.5m return to Chelsea is the worst Premier League transfer EVER, claims Jamie O'Hara... as he insists Thomas Tuchel should have done more to keep the struggling Belgian striker 'on side' at Stamford Bridge

Chelsea FC and Inter Milan have reached an agreement over a loan move for striker Romelu Lukaku and the 29-year-old is expected to undergo medical ...

The breakthrough on Tuesday night came after several rounds of negotiations over the past few weeks involving Lukaku’s lawyer Sebastian Ledure and Inter chief executive Giuseppe Marotta. After that the situations were not conducive for Lukaku as he was briefly dropped by Tuchel following his outburst and was forced to apologise in January. A controversial interview with Italian TV in last December featured Lukaku admitting he was unhappy with the way he was used by Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel and hinting he was already thinking about leaving.

The Treble column: We tried to warn Chelsea, we really did. It would be wrong to say we take no pleasure in Romelu Lukaku flopping terribly.

De Jong’s recent holiday trip suggests he might be in the mood to gamble. Manchester United were right about Lukaku, and all those suggesting otherwise, have been silenced by the Belgian’s poor form. Inter Milan will be left feeling like they have pulled off the heist of the century. When he returns he will be 30 and still on a gigantic £325,000 per week wages. And it would be wrong to say we take no pleasure in Romelu Lukaku flopping terribly on his return to Stamford Bridge. Manchester United have done some bad deals over the years, plenty of them.

The striker was so eager to facilitate a move that he decided to give up one third of his £325,000-a-week wages. Lukaku had clearly stated that he would like to leave Chelsea and return to Inter, where he enjoyed a successful spell from 2019 to 2021. ROMELU LUKAKU was reportedly moved to tears when he found out that Inter Milan had struck a deal with Chelsea to re-sign him on loan.

Romelu Lukaku has joined a long list of Chelsea No.9s that have failed at Stamford Bridge.

He notched a more respectable 15 goals from 48 games, but was sent to Atletico Madrid on loan in 2019. A two-year loan to AC Milan was disastrous and cut short as Torres returned to Atletico Madrid, before retiring in Japan with Sagan Tosu. Never looked the same ever again. A once world class finisher now looked useless thanks to the Chelsea curse. Higuain on a short loan sounds like a good idea, but it was far from it. Signing for £10m, Sutton struggled to live up to the hype and netted just once in 28 Premier League games before being sold to Celtic after a season. Upon his 2008 departure, he found his feet with Aston Villa over a four-year spell, before fading away with Fulham, Stoke and Brighton in his later years. Despite scoring on his second debut with the club, Lukaku found goals incredibly difficult to come by and looked like a square peg in a round hole whenever he played. And while Chelsea fans will never forget his semi-final goal that essentially won them the Champions League in 2012, he flopped. It appears as though he is going to get his wish, however, with Fabrizio Romano now reporting that an agreement has been reached between Chelsea and Inter for the loan return of the Belgian striker. Boulahrouz started brightly but quickly fell out of favour, and was sold in 2008, having vacated the nine shirt after one season. Chelsea’s number nine shirt curse has been running deep for years and has seemingly affected a handful of strikers, who were about as good as you could imagine before taking the gig in London. He would also turn out for Sporting CP, Brondby and Feyenoord before retiring in 2015.

'The relationship I have with this club means so much to me, as you know. Rarely do supporters of clubs like feeling that they were used as a stepping stone. 'We are not gentlemen at the mercy of the moves of players and clubs. 'It’s been a long journey for me. We took note of Lukaku's betrayal and we were very upset. Lukaku departed the club for Chelsea last summer for £97.5m after two years with Inter but will return to Italy this window after a disastrous second spell in west London.

Thomas Tuchel was meant to have found the missing piece of his Blues jigsaw when the Belgian striker, fresh from inspiring Inter Milan to their first Scudetto ...

Lukaku allegedly sees himself on the same level as the likes of Robert Lewandowski, Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe, a bold stance he failed to justify over the course of the season. They had more intensity, movement and fluency in the same fashion as the team which became European champions the previous season. Yet incredibly, it was in May when he produced an unexpected late revival, scoring three goals in as many league games to propel himself back into favour ahead of an FA Cup final battle with Liverpool. Perhaps more telling about the scarce options in Tuchel's attack, Lukaku earned himself a start at Wembley against the odds. And after wishing him many happy returns he turned the conversation to a potential San Siro return. Even though Tuchel had provided him with a clear vote of confidence, it was becoming clear that Lukaku could not fit into his system or gel with his fellow attackers. They had only claimed two wins out of five when a trip to Aston Villa came on Boxing Day, and after going in level at the break Tuchel introduced his big-money signing for the second half. 'The data is out there and the data speaks a certain language. Once he had served his punishment, though, the outspoken striker was back in his starting XI. The Stamford Bridge faithful wasted no time in berating their record signing, who had poured gas onto a fire which appeared to be fading. But I'm not happy with the situation at Chelsea,' Lukaku told Sky Italia at the end of December. 'Tuchel has chosen to play with another system – I won't give up, I'll be professional. It would eventually mark the beginning of his demise as a Chelsea player.

Romelu Lukaku's exit will be of relief to some Chelsea fans, but a greater attacking question needs to be answered by Thomas Tuchel.

The awkward questions many rightfully supportive of Tuchel do not want to address is the structural attacking issues that were present before Lukaku arrived and could remain heading into next season. As much discussion will focus on Lukaku, the fallout and complete exclusion of Tammy Abraham after he was appointed remains a completely bizarre affair that effectively forced the English striker out of the club. Whilst back in London, Chelsea's attacking issues only grew with over £300m worth of talent. It is not about ten players serving one player. It is not about one player. But the responsibility for this failure cannot just fall on Lukaku's shoulders.

Romelu Lukaku's astonishing Chelsea exit to Inter Milan after just one season following his £97.5 million signing has been made easier by Todd Boehly.

There’s no beating around the bush, Lukaku’s return has been a disaster. They get a fee, offload an unwanted player, and can move on. It has made a rebuild, which Tuchel has admitted is needed, easier. Lukaku netted 15 goals in his first season back in the English capital, but it didn’t come without controversy. Boehly and co came into Chelsea with a clean slate. If something didn’t work out, they’d find an alternative.

His presence can raise the level within a team. "We want to try to win the Champions League every year," he added. We weren't satisfied with the second half of the season. "When you've spoken to the club and the coach, I can see how strong we are. "At Liverpool we fought for every title. "When Bayern showed interest, I was intrigued and didn't have to think twice.

ROMELU LUKAKU will be surprisingly easy to replace, despite costing Chelsea £97.5million.The club's most expensive player scored only eight Premier.

Chelsea have been trying to find the next ‘Rudi’ for some time and are yet to get a deal done. But Chelsea will have to overcome the financial loss on Lukaku, even if his absence will not be noticed on the pitch. While Tuchel has been talking exit terms for the player bought to transform Chelsea into title contenders, City and Liverpool have already secured reinforcements. Champions City and Liverpool are the teams Chelsea need to catch if they want to regain the Premier League title after a six-year gap. But the first business for the new-look board of Chelsea directors, which was unveiled yesterday, was to swallow hard and accept a sizeable financial and reputational hit on a lame duck striker. The paltry £7m loan fee Chelsea are receiving for sending Lukaku back to Inter Milan is embarrassing in itself.

Romelu Lukaku is ready for his return to Inter on loan from Chelsea, confirmed lawyer Sebastien Ledure. 'A little more time and then official confirmation.'

“A little more time and then there will be official confirmation,” he said of the Inter transfer. That now seems to be imminent, because the clubs agreed a loan fee of €8m plus up to €4m in performance-related bonuses based on team targets such as the Serie A title and Champions League.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Inter Milan are set to confirm Romelu Lukaku's return to Italy, with the two clubs agreeing a loan fee.

In early season games, he had defenders pinned with his back to goal, before bringing some of the more creative players into play, often leading to a big chance. His perceived lack of effort was on show, although some intelligent movement was simply not utilised by his teammates. But where did it all go wrong for the 29-year-old?
