Chelsea Agrees Club-Record Fee To Re-Sign Romelu Lukaku
Chelsea have agreed in principle a club-record deal worth £97.5m (€115m) to re-sign striker Romelu Lukaku from Inter Milan.
The paperwork is now with club lawyers and once that is formalised, prolific striker Lukaku will undergo a medical and sign a five-year contract.
Inter have previously rejected two offers from Chelsea for the Belgium international, the second of which was worth £85m (€100m) plus left-back Marcos Alonso.
Lukaku, 28, left Chelsea in 2014 after making just 15 appearances following his arrival at Stamford Bridge from Anderlecht in 2011.
The striker scored 87 goals in 166 games for Everton between 2014 and 2017 and found the net 42 times in 96 appearances during his two years at Manchester United before signing for Inter in 2019.
He scored 24 goals in Serie A last season, helping Inter to its first Scudetto in 11 years as the club put an end to Juventus’ nine-year dominance as Italian champions.
