Chelsea are close to signing Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku in a deal thought to be worth €115 million, sources have told ESPN.
The move, which will see Lukaku join Chelsea for a second time, is unlikely to involve any players moving in the opposite direction. Marcos Alonso had been linked with a move to Inter as part of the deal.
Details are yet to be finalised in terms of a payment plan but personal terms are not thought to be an issue. Sources have told ESPN that Lukaku's salary is in the region of £250,000-a-week.
