Chelsea are hoping to sell Romelu Lukaku in the summer transfer window with the Belgian striker pushing to return to Inter Milan. The 30-year-old spent last season on loan at Inter and helped them reach the UEFA Champions League final.
Lukaku is yet to return to Chelsea pre-season training as speculation over his future continues to circulate on social media. The Blues moved his return date to Monday, July 17 in the hope the transfer saga involving Inter will have been resolved.
Lukaku has attracted interest from Saudi Arabian clubs, but the Belgium international wants to continue his career in Europe. Juventus have joined Inter in the race to sign the 30-year-old, but it seems Lukaku has his heart set on a return to the San Siro.
Now, Inter boss Simone Inzaghi has weighed in on Lukaku's situation at Chelsea as Mauricio Pochettino looks to move on the Belgian - along with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Hakim Ziyech.
"Lukaku is Chelsea player now," Inzaghi said. "We all know how crucial he has been for us.
"I did my best to bring him back last summer. We’d like to re-sign Romelu also this summer and we’ll do our best to make it happen."

Lukaku scored 14 goals in 37 appearances for Inter last term and is hoping to secure a permanent move back to the San Siro. However, Chelsea have set a £40million asking price for the Belgian striker - something Inter may not be able to pay until Andre Onana completes a transfer to Manchester United.
