DBasia.news – Romelu Lukaku is just one step away from officially returning to Chelsea. Interestingly, the Blues were able to get money back from the transfer. This happened because of the domino effect that occurred in the transfer market.
After the first offer to sign Romelu Lukaku was rejected by Inter Milan, Chelsea did not immediately give up. With good financial strength, the Blues made a second offer.
Chelsea were willing to pay Lukaku up to 115 million euros. Inter, who are in need of fresh funds, have opened the door.
According to reports, Lukaku will head to London today to complete his transfer. The striker wants to be available when Chelsea faces Sevilla in the European Super Cup final.
Lukaku’s departure to Chelsea is also rumored to have a domino effect in the transfer market. As Inter Milan is targeting Atalanta striker, Duvan Zapata, as a substitute.
Inter Milan have reportedly reached an agreement with the striker. La Dea is also open to selling Zapata as long as the incoming offer reaches 40 million euros.
Interestingly, Atalanta are targeting Chelsea striker, Tammy Abraham, as Zapata’s successor. Atalanta have scheduled a meeting with the Blues in London in the next 48 hours.
Chelsea had no problem selling Tammy Abraham. Chelsea priced the young striker for 40 million euros. Apart from Atalanta, Abraham also attracted the attention of Arsenal and West Ham United.
Therefore, Chelsea’s funds to purchase Lukaku can be turned back, although not in full. All of that happened because of the domino effect on the transfer market.
