Romelu Lukaku WILL return to Chelsea this summer, confirms Inter Milan's CEO as he admits the Belgian 'is not the player we got to see in years gone by' after scoring just five goals in 18 appearances in Italy

Romelu Lukaku will return to Chelsea this summer, Giuseppe Marotta, Inter Milan's CEO, has confirmed.

The Belgian was sent on loan to his former club last year by Chelsea after failing to deliver following his £97m transfer from the Italian club in 2021.

Decisive in Inter Milan's 2020-21 Scudetto winning campaign under Antonio Conte, Lukaku has failed to live up to those lofty standards and will once again return to Chelsea this summer.

'The loan was for one season so on June 30 regardless of how well he plays, he’ll go back to Chelsea,' Marotta told Sky Italia.
