Romelu Lukaku to Chelsea: Agent says star's reason for seeking transfer will be revealed 'soon'

Inter Milan and Chelsea are continuing their negotiations over Romelu Lukaku and the Belgian forward's agent has now opened up on the prospective deal.

The Nerazzurri are in talks to sell their star striker amid a financial crisis at the club and Sportsmail revealed on Thursday that Chelsea are ready to agree a £95million deal with the Italian side within the next week.

Reports in Italy, including from Sky Sports Italia, claim Inter owner Steven Zhang is keen to press on with the sale of Lukaku despite opposition from head coach Simone Inzaghi and chief executive Beppe Marotta - while Lukaku is still happy in Milan.
