Chelsea will now focus on working out an agreement with Leipzig. They could settle for triggering Nkunku’s buyout clause or try to negotiate a different transfer fee altogether. [Caughtoffside]
Lukaku does not want to return to Chelsea
Romelu Lukaku has decided he doesn’t want to return to Chelsea next summer.
The 29-year-old striker rejoined Inter Milan on a season-long loan in the summer after a disappointing campaign at Chelsea. He has spent most of this term injured so far, making just three appearances in Serie A.
Nonetheless, Lukaku still hopes to leave Chelsea again next summer and thinks another loan deal might be an option given the €115 million transfer fee the Blues spent to sign him. [Calciomercato – in Italian]
