Chelsea reportedly have a ‘gentleman’s agreement’ in place for the permanent sale of their striker Romelu Lukaku to Inter Milan.
The 29-year-old rejoined the Nerazzurri on loan earlier this summer, just over a year after his near £100 million move to Stamford Bridge.
According to Sport Mediaset, as per Sport Witness, Lukaku has told his friends and family that his loan-spell at the San Siro is ’only the beginning’ of his second stint, as he intends to stay for much longer than the initially agreed one-year move.
The report also claims that player’s future pathway is ‘clear,’ and that the two clubs already have a ‘gentleman’s agreement’ regarding a future permanent move, allowing them twelve months to complete the transfer.
After becoming one of the top strikers in European football and guiding Inter to their first Scudetto in over a decade, Lukaku re-joined his former club Chelsea with the expectation that he would help deliver similar success to the west London club.
However, the move turned out to be a disaster as the Belgian international scored just 15 times in 44 appearances. Lukaku’s time at the Blues will be best remembered for incidents off the pitch, including his infamous interview with Sky Italia.
