Telenovela mes Romelu Lukaku and Inter is not over yet! According to the latest reports from Calciomercato in Italy, the Belgian striker wants to return to his old team, even if it means he has to reduce his salary.
From what we see today, Lukaku's choice to join Chelsea at the start of the season seems to have resulted in a mistake in all respects. His performance has left much to be desired, the relationship with the fans has been problematic, and the lack of cooperation with teammates has not proved fruitful on the green field.
The recent sanctions against Roman Abramovich's Chelsea have added even more uncertainty to the future of the club, and this has led the Belgian striker to seriously consider leaving Stamford Bridge. According to rumors, Lukaku has sent a message with the text "see you soon", to his former teammates at Inter, although this has not yet been confirmed.
But the problem with a potential return to Inter is the financial aspect of the move. Chelsea paid a full 115 million euros for the Belgian card to the Italians, and this is a figure that the Zika can never pay to bring Lukaku back to Italy. Given that the player's form has been volatile this season, Chelsea will be asking for less for his services, but the figure will in all likelihood be again far from Inter's opportunities.
An alternative with more opportunities to be realized is that of a transfer in the form of a loan. The Belgian can join the reigning champions of Italy for two seasons on loan, with the right to buy at the end of this period. This would significantly reduce the final cost for his card, but many things will again depend on the form of the player, in case this scenario is realized.
