It appears there’s been a bit more movement in Romelu Lukaku’s Chelsea exit saga, with the latest from Italy sounding very positive about a deal.
It comes from journalist Rudy Galetti, who took to Twitter to deliver the news, saying both Inter and the Blues are ‘getting closer and closer’ to reaching an agreement.
In fact, a paid loan of ‘around €10m bonuses included’ with an option to buy is ‘in finalisation’.
If true, this shows just how desperate Thomas Tuchel is to get the Belgian out of his squad ahead of next season when you take into account Chelsea paid over £100m to get him from Inter last summer.

The German manager and the striker never clicked at Stamford Bridge, which led the player to endure one of his most disappointing season in recent years.
Galetti suggests a deal is very close, and ‘the striker could already return to being an Inter player in the next few hours’.
In fact, ‘the countdown can already start’ on that Chelsea exit.
