He never seemed completely sold on a move back to Chelsea, whom he initially joined as a teenager in 2011, yet eventually made the switch in August. Lukaku’s move to Stamford Bridge last summer will go down as one of the costliest in Premier League history. There will be no option or obligation to buy at the end of the loan next summer, with Lukaku to undergo his medical next week.

It is hoped that the deal could be finalised today, pending a medical for the Belgium international. Inter have been in talks with Chelsea over the arrangement of the loan since last week.

‘He didn’t perform the way people expected him to do. But the cleverness in front of goal won’t change and he can also miss easy chances. But you have to look elsewhere in the team. ‘But finding a striker is not a priority. ‘Definitely he’s a fantastic player and can bring something special. ‘The pace of Chelsea’s game could improve – Sterling can improve that.

Romelu Lukaku's second spell at Chelsea has turned into a nightmare after a £97.5m deal and the striker is set to return to Inter Milan on a season-long ...

Lukaku told Sky in December last year: "I don't think any of it should have happened the way it did. Tuchel confirmed Lukaku was fined and attempted to draw a line and move on from the interview, but the striker went on to become a backup player in the latter stages of the season. I really hope so.

Romelu Lukaku looks set to return to Inter Milan less than a year after joining Chelsea for a club-record fee; striker joins Andriy Shevchenko, ...

In doing so, the Blues will hope he can build a team capable of supporting a striker that can end their goalscoring issues. Another factor perhaps hampering Chelsea's forwards has been the fact that the club have had four head coaches in the last five seasons, each of which have brought their own tactics, preferences and demands. But on the other hand, Chelsea had a remarkable knack of finding goals from other areas - particularly defence. But while the statistics make grim reading for Lukaku, it's perhaps harsh to single him out as an underperforming forward in Chelsea's team. It's hard to make the argument that Chelsea did not provide enough service to their striker. Tuchel's comments came in the wake of Romelu Lukaku's infamous performance at Crystal Palace which saw him touch the ball just seven times.

Lukaku's arrival last summer on a club record fee appeared to be a sign of intent from Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel, and although he scored four times in his first four games, the Belgian fell away as the season progressed, scoring just eight times in the Premier League. - The struggling Belgian forward is poised to make a return to Inter Milan on loan Romelu Lukaku's £97.5m return to Chelsea is the worst Premier League transfer EVER, claims Jamie O'Hara... as he insists Thomas Tuchel should have done more to keep the struggling Belgian striker 'on side' at Stamford Bridge

The Treble column: We tried to warn Chelsea, we really did. It would be wrong to say we take no pleasure in Romelu Lukaku flopping terribly.

De Jong’s recent holiday trip suggests he might be in the mood to gamble. Manchester United were right about Lukaku, and all those suggesting otherwise, have been silenced by the Belgian’s poor form. Inter Milan will be left feeling like they have pulled off the heist of the century. When he returns he will be 30 and still on a gigantic £325,000 per week wages. And it would be wrong to say we take no pleasure in Romelu Lukaku flopping terribly on his return to Stamford Bridge. Manchester United have done some bad deals over the years, plenty of them.

The striker was so eager to facilitate a move that he decided to give up one third of his £325,000-a-week wages. Lukaku had clearly stated that he would like to leave Chelsea and return to Inter, where he enjoyed a successful spell from 2019 to 2021.

'The relationship I have with this club means so much to me, as you know. Rarely do supporters of clubs like feeling that they were used as a stepping stone. 'We are not gentlemen at the mercy of the moves of players and clubs. 'It’s been a long journey for me. We took note of Lukaku's betrayal and we were very upset. Lukaku departed the club for Chelsea last summer for £97.5m after two years with Inter but will return to Italy this window after a disastrous second spell in west London.

Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku has returned to Inter Milan on a season long loan spell ahead of next season following his unsuccessful time at Stamford ...

City are demanding in the excess of £50m for the England international, and reports suggest Chelsea have already had a bid rejected by Pep Guardiola's side. The Blues sealed a club-record transfer of £97.5m to sign the Belgian from Inter last summer, but his second stint at Stamford Bridge has not been successful. Inter have secured the return of Lukaku from Chelsea on loan after agreeing to pay a £7million fee - plus add-ons.

Thomas Tuchel was meant to have found the missing piece of his Blues jigsaw when the Belgian striker, fresh from inspiring Inter Milan to their first Scudetto ...

Lukaku allegedly sees himself on the same level as the likes of Robert Lewandowski, Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe, a bold stance he failed to justify over the course of the season. They had more intensity, movement and fluency in the same fashion as the team which became European champions the previous season. Yet incredibly, it was in May when he produced an unexpected late revival, scoring three goals in as many league games to propel himself back into favour ahead of an FA Cup final battle with Liverpool. Perhaps more telling about the scarce options in Tuchel's attack, Lukaku earned himself a start at Wembley against the odds. And after wishing him many happy returns he turned the conversation to a potential San Siro return. Even though Tuchel had provided him with a clear vote of confidence, it was becoming clear that Lukaku could not fit into his system or gel with his fellow attackers. They had only claimed two wins out of five when a trip to Aston Villa came on Boxing Day, and after going in level at the break Tuchel introduced his big-money signing for the second half. 'The data is out there and the data speaks a certain language. Once he had served his punishment, though, the outspoken striker was back in his starting XI. The Stamford Bridge faithful wasted no time in berating their record signing, who had poured gas onto a fire which appeared to be fading. But I'm not happy with the situation at Chelsea,' Lukaku told Sky Italia at the end of December. 'Tuchel has chosen to play with another system – I won't give up, I'll be professional. It would eventually mark the beginning of his demise as a Chelsea player.

Have you ever bought a pair of snakeskin cowboy boots on the promise of a vow made to yourself that this is the year you stop caring about what other people ...

Equally, the Blues’ decision to hold out for no more than £10.3 million in loan fees is a responsibility that the player himself cannot be expected to bear. When the honeymoon was over and the novelty had worn off, so it proved. By the time Lukaku’s frustrations boiled over and he stated in a startlingly candid interview that he wanted to return to Italy in the “near future” back in December, it didn’t take Miss Marple to see that the writing was on the wall. Onlookers will, justifiably, argue that the striker himself has to accept at least some of the accountability for his incongruence, that he should have showed a greater willingness to adapt his game when the manager adapted his approach, perhaps. Even when Lukaku was scoring freely towards the start of the campaign, running amok like Popeye in a spinach-canning factory, it was hard to shake the feeling that he might be thriving in spite of Thomas Tuchel’s tactics, not because of them. Theoretically, then, a return to Chelsea last summer should have been the perfect reunion - a chance for the player to exhibit all he had learned on his continental odyssey in a team who, in many respects, were crying out for a focal point of his ilk.

Romelu Lukaku's astonishing Chelsea exit to Inter Milan after just one season following his £97.5 million signing has been made easier by Todd Boehly.

There’s no beating around the bush, Lukaku’s return has been a disaster. They get a fee, offload an unwanted player, and can move on. It has made a rebuild, which Tuchel has admitted is needed, easier. Lukaku netted 15 goals in his first season back in the English capital, but it didn’t come without controversy. Boehly and co came into Chelsea with a clean slate. If something didn’t work out, they’d find an alternative.

ROMELU LUKAKU will be surprisingly easy to replace, despite costing Chelsea £97.5million.The club's most expensive player scored only eight Premier.

Chelsea have been trying to find the next ‘Rudi’ for some time and are yet to get a deal done. But Chelsea will have to overcome the financial loss on Lukaku, even if his absence will not be noticed on the pitch. While Tuchel has been talking exit terms for the player bought to transform Chelsea into title contenders, City and Liverpool have already secured reinforcements. Champions City and Liverpool are the teams Chelsea need to catch if they want to regain the Premier League title after a six-year gap. But the first business for the new-look board of Chelsea directors, which was unveiled yesterday, was to swallow hard and accept a sizeable financial and reputational hit on a lame duck striker. The paltry £7m loan fee Chelsea are receiving for sending Lukaku back to Inter Milan is embarrassing in itself.
