Chelsea news: Romelu Lukaku bid rejected as Paulo Dybala spotted and England duo celebrate

Your Chelsea morning headlines on Sunday, July 9.

Chelsea reject Inter bid for Lukaku

Chelsea's second-most-expensive player of all time is set to leave the club permanently for a second time after two years of errors and mistakes.

Chelsea have rejected an offer from Inter of around £25.6million, according to the Athletic . With no loan deal being discussed, it was sent back out of hand with no consideration for offers of under £38million.

It had been thought that Inter would take Lukaku back on a second-season loan for around £8million following his deal last summer but fitness and financial issues have put an end to that.

Dybala spotted in England

Paulo Dybala has reportedly emerged as a target for Chelsea as Mauricio Pochettino looks to further bolster his frontline options. The 29-year-old forward has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge recently following his impressive performances for Roma.

He has fuelled suggestions that he could be in the process of sealing a move to Chelsea after being spotted at Silverstone. Dybala posed for a picture with Max Verstappen after the Red Bull driver finished on pole in qualifying ahead of the British Grand Prix.

Colwill and Madueke win U21 Euros

England's under 21s have been crowned European Champions after beating Spain 1-0 at the Adjarabet Arena in Georgia on Saturday. The match had plenty of late drama, four red cards and a whole host of tense moments, but it was Lee Carsley's men that came out on top.

Levi Colwill seemed to have the best chance of the half as his header from a corner hit the post, but there was still another twist to come before the half-time whistle. Palmer's free-kick from the edge of the box took a deflection off of Liverpool star Curtis Jones to fly into the back of the net.

The celebrations sparked a mass brawl as England coach Ashley Cole was sent off alongside a Spanish coach in the aftermath from a VAR check. The second half saw plenty of chances for both teams, but there was some late drama still to come as Colwill's challenge in the box was checked by the referee.
