New Chelsea Owner, “could personally verify” Sending £98m Romelu Lukaku on Loan.

Chelsea owner Todd Boehly will talk with Thomas Tuchel to confirm Romelu Lukaku’s temporary exit from Stamford Bridge.

Lukaku has been linked with a return to Inter Milan.This is after he struggled to establish himself in the Chelsea starting lineup following his club-record £97.5 million summer transfer.

The 29-year-old striker’s contract at Stamford Bridge expires in four years, although he has stated that he would like to return to Serie A to play for his previous club.

Inter cannot afford to sign Lukaku on a permanent basis from the Premier League heavyweights. As a result, they’re hoping to work out a loan arrangement with the London club.

Tuchel will meet with Boehly  to negotiate a possible loan deal for Lukaku. Boehly will allow the Belgian striker’s exit if it is financially feasible.

As soon as Boehly authorizes Lukaku’s loan period, he is supposed to have a private plane waiting for him to go to Italy.

If Boehly rejects the move, Lukaku is expected to request a meeting with the club’s American owner to discuss his future with the club.

Meanwhile, Inter hopes to achieve a deal with Chelsea by the end of June in order to benefit from the Growth Decree rule.

The system allows Italian teams to purchase foreign players with large tax benefits if they stay in the country for at least 24 months.

While on international duty, Lukaku was quizzed about his future, since he is apparently prepared to take a 50% salary reduction to enable a return to Italy.

Reporters asked the 29-year-old whether he will return to Italy this summer before Belgium’s 4-1 loss to Holland on Friday.

The striker, who was hurt during the Nations League match, remained tight-lipped, telling reporters that he ‘can’t talk about the future’.

However, in a shocking interview towards the end of December 2021, Lukaku indicated his desire to return to Inter Milan.

Lukaku provoked outrage when he said he may leave Chelsea to return to his previous club.

When Lukaku returned to Chelsea last summer, he hit the ground running. Before falling out of favor, he scored four goals in his first four outings.

During Chelsea’s 4-0 Champions League victory over Malmo, the 29-year-old sustained an ankle injury.

He was out for a month before returning to the team at the end of November. His return to the starting XI, on the other hand, was far from easy.

Tuchel began to favor a false-nine offensive strategy with Kai Havertz as part of it. As a result, Lukaku frequently found himself warming the bench.

Lukaku has been in and out of the starting XI under Tuchel since then, and he is thought to be yearning for consistent playing time.
