Football rumours: Chelsea to allow Lukaku to stay at Inter Milan before sale

The Daily Mirror reports via Gazzetta dello Sport that Chelsea are ready to allow Belgium striker *Romelu Lukaku* to remain on loan at Inter Milan next season before writing off millions by selling him. The 29-year-old returned to Stamford Bridge in a record Blues deal of £97m in the summer of 2021 – the last big deal of Roman Abramovich – but he failed to settle back in London and gave an explosive interview last December saying he wanted to return to Italy, which he ultimately did.
