BREAKING NEWS: Romelu Lukaku 'is NOT planning to return to Chelsea tomorrow for pre-season training' as the Belgian striker digs in 'as he looks to seal permanent Inter Milan switch'

Romelu Lukaku's desire to turn his Inter Milan loan move into a permanent one will see him reportedly stay away from Chelsea tomorrow.

The Blues had given the Belgian striker July 12 as a return date for him to join up with new boss Mauricio Pochettino.

But the Telegraph report that Lukaku has no interest in going back to Chelsea and will instead hold out to see if Inter can successfully negotiate a deal to keep him, something they have so far failed to do with Chelsea looking for a fee of around £40million.
