Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is now considering different types of replacements for Romelu Lukaku who is close to returning to Inter Milan on loan this summer, according to The Telegraph.
The talks between Inter Milan and Chelsea over a potential loan deal for Lukaku have now reached the final stages, per Fabrizio Romano.
The Italian expert claims that the two clubs agreed on €10million (£8.6m) loan fees plus add-ons, with Inter waiting for “the green light” from their owners to seal the deal.
Lukaku’s expected departure means Chelsea would have to shift their attention to finding a replacement.
The Telegraph claims that the people at Chelsea are aware that they are unlikely to replace the Belgium international with another elite out-and-out number nine after missing out on Erling Haaland as well as Robert Lewandowski’s preferring a move to Barcelona.
