'We are happy to bring him home': Inter Milan chief Giuseppe Marotta confirms Romelu Lukaku's return could be confirmed in 'a few days' after agreeing £6.9m loan... and says the £98m Chelsea flop 'has done very well for us'

Romelu Lukaku's return to Inter Milan on loan could be confirmed in 'the next few days', the club's CEO Giuseppe Marotta has revealed - as he admitted the Italian giants were 'happy to bring him home' after his nightmare year at Chelsea.

The Belgian left the San Siro for Stamford Bridge with huge expectations on his shoulders after signing for £98million last summer, and while he made a good start to life back in west London, he soon struggled for form and found himself down the pecking order under Thomas Tuchel.

Lukaku also conducted a controversial interview with Italian media admitting he was unhappy with his role under the German coach - teasing a return to Italy - which saw him dropped from the Chelsea squad.
