Chelsea 'still owe Inter Milan up to £71MILLION for Romelu Lukaku' seven months since they forked out a club-record fee to re-sign the striker... with sanctioned-owner Roman Abramovich's accounts showing they have transfer debts of £104million

Chelsea could still owe Inter Milan up to £71million for their club-record signing of Romelu Lukaku, it has been revealed.

Lukaku headed back to Stamford Bridge for a fee worth £95million last summer, but The Sun are reporting that Chelsea planned to pay it in a series of instalments over 12 months.

While the Blues refused to comment on the details of the deal, Inter released documents in public when they were forced to refinance their huge debts last year.

Those documents show that the Italian club are not due to receive the full transfer fee until later this year, however it will not come directly from Chelsea.
