Chelsea forward open to joining Inter as the Serie A club seeks a loan move this summer

Romelu Lukaku has been linked with a return to Inter ahead of the summer transfer window.

According to a report from Calciomercato, the Belgian striker is open to re-joining Inter from Chelsea this summer. But it is understood that Inter could only afford a loan deal for the forward this time, provided that Lukaku lowers his salary to a significant extent.

The 28-year-old currently earns a net salary of around โ‚ฌ13-14million at Chelsea. Should he join Inter this summer, he would not be reportedly getting a sum of more than โ‚ฌ6-6.5million. Furthermore, Inter have other targets in the market and donโ€™t want to overpay for an asset that made him โ‚ฌ100million last summer.

If a summer transfer to Inter doesnโ€™t go through, Lukaku could keep an eye on Antonio Conteโ€™s movement. The current Tottenham Hotspur manager may not be in London next season, with links of him moving to Paris Saint-Germain gathering the pace. Lukaku would love to play under him at PSG. But as the report suggests, these are just hypotheses.
