Thomas Tuchelโs departure from Chelsea has left uncertainties over Romelu Lukakuโs future at Inter. Lukaku joined the Italian club on a loan deal this summer.
Speaking to Sky Italia ahead of their Champions League game against Bayern Munich, Inter CEO Giuseppe Marotta admitted that he was unaware of how Tuchelโs sacking would impact the strikerโs future at the Italian club. He said:
โTuchelโs farewell is fresh news, I donโt know what the effects will be on Lukaku. We want to exploit it this season, then at the end of the year, we will evaluate with Chelsea that he is the owner of his card. I think it is premature today to talk about a reconfirmation.โ
Inter have shelled out a loan fee of around โฌ8 million plus โฌ4 million in add-ons to secure the Belgianโs services for one year. Since re-joining Inter, the 29-year-old has made three appearances for the Nerazzurri, garnering one goal and one assist thus far. A muscle injury has kept him out of the action for the last three matches on the trot across all competitions.
