Inter Milan are preparing a fresh loan bid for Romelu Lukaku this week after rekindling talks with Chelsea, as the Belgian forward prioritises a return to the Italian giants

Inter Milan are rekindling talks with Chelsea for Romelu Lukaku after he indicated he had no desire to join Juventus.

The Italians are to offer another loan with option to buy but Chelsea will insist on an obligation and loan fee.

Lukaku spent last season on loan at Inter after rejoining the club following his disastrous 2021-22 campaign at Chelsea and they are keen for a reunion.

Chelsea are likely to insist that Inter are obligated to buy Lukaku next summer, which could be a potential sticking point, but Inter are believed to be optimistic that a deal can be struck.
