'He's too expensive to be a substitute': Romelu Lukaku would 'NOT make it back into Inter Milan's starting XI' despite being interested in returning to the Serie A giants says Paolo Di Canio

Paolo Di Canio says Romelu Lukaku would struggle to make Inter Milan's starting XI after failing to impress in the Premier League this season.

Chelsea paid £98million to re-sign the Belgian striker from Inter Milan in August 2021. The transfer saw Lukaku return to Stamford Bridge 10 years after he first joined the club.

He made an immediate impact for Chelsea - scoring against Arsenal on his second debut for the club. However, he struggled to maintain consistency this season.
