Romelu Lukaku 'would relish Chelsea transfer return' as 'very good' offer made to star
Inter Milan forward Romelu Lukaku would be open to joining Chelsea this summer, with the Blues making a lucrative offer to secure his services earlier this year, according to reports. The Belgian marksman has been linked with a return to Stamford Bridge in recent months as Thomas Tuchel looks to strengthen his ranks in advance of a renewed Premier League title challenge next season.
Chelsea’s current options at the top of the pitch are somewhat limited for a side that have just been crowned European champions, with Kai Havertz forced to adapt to the No 9 role towards the back end of the previous campaign.
Timo Werner has struggled to fire on all cylinders after joining the Blues from RB Leipzig a year ago, managing just six league goals.
Meanwhile, Tammy Abraham has fallen drastically out of favour since the turn of the year despite finishing the season as the club’s joint-top scorer in all competitions.
The addition of a new attacking talisman is said to be at the top of Chelsea’s list of summer priorities, with Erling Haaland understood to be the club’s main target.
However, a move for the 20-year-old could be difficult to engineer if Dortmund refuse to budge on their reported £150million asking price this summer.
