DBasia.news – Romelu Lukaku has recently been linked with a return to Inter Milan in the summer. ThomRomelu Lukaku graced the news in the summer transfer market of 2022. Lukaku is said to regret leaving Inter Milan and is now desperate to return to his home club.
In the summer of 2021 Lukaku returned to Chelsea who bought him for 97.5 million pounds , a total of 100 million euros in a transfer deal. it was the second period for players from Belgium to defend the Blues.
Lukaku was Chelsea’s top scorer with 15 goals last season in 44 appearances across all competitions, but has not played much overall and Thomas Tuchel has mostly reserved him, using Kai Havertz as a centre-forward even though he is not a pure forward.
Lukaku (29 years old) finally returned to Inter. After lengthy negotiations between the two teams, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the deal is: 8 million euros on loan, 4 million euros in bonuses, wages cut from 12 million euros to million, and there is no option or obligation for Inter to purchase him.
Simply put, Inter only borrowed Lukaku from Chelsea. Judging from Lukaku’s drama, football pundit Jamie O’Hara said that Lukaku’s transfer to Chelsea in the second period was the worst transfer failure in Premier League football history.
“‘What a shocking move. Probably the worst Premier League signing ever, he hasn’t even been at Chelsea for a year and they paid 100 million pounds for him, ridiculous!” stated O’Hara in Football Daily.
“I would keep him (if Tuchel were). I would put my arm around him and say ‘We need Lukaku at his best, it’s a new era with new people’ and Thomas Tuchel should have done better to keep him by his side.”
“You’ve got Reece James and Ben Chilwell back this season, so he’s a player who’s going to be huge for them.”
“I think in the end he lost his confidence, he lost faith, the manager lost trust and they cut ties and moved on,” O’Hara said.
So far, Chelsea has released more players than brought in them. Lukaku’s departure follows in the footsteps of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen.
