TOP STORY: Inter keen on extending Lukaku loan
Internazionale want to extend Romelu Lukaku‘s loan for another season, with Gazzetta dello Sport reporting that parent club Chelsea have made it clear that they are not interested in him returning to Stamford Bridge.
Lukaku joined Chelsea from Inter for £97.5 million in August 2021 but endured a tough first season, and returned to Italy in June this year.
Lukaku also had a tough World Cup in which he was on the sidelines for most of Belgium’s campaign, recovering from injury. In his last match, after coming on as a substitute against Croatia, he missed four gilt-edged chances before his nation were eliminated from the competition.
Lukaku has only played in five matches in all competitions for the Nerazzurri this season due to a combination of hamstring and ankle problems.
He returns to Inter from Qatar with the club ready to get him in shape ahead of the Serie A run in, where they find themselves 11 points adrift of runaway leaders Napoli.
