Inter Milan must accelerate their attempts to sign Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea as Al-Hilal remain at the window.
The Belgian has long pledged his love and allegiance to the Nerazzurri. However, the management must find a way to maintain his services.
Last summer, the 30-year-old returned to the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium on a dry loan. But this temporary stint will expire today, leaving his future shrouded with mystery.
In the meantime, Al-Hilal are hellbent on luring the striker to the Saudi Pro League. They have reportedly made him an offer that would see him collect 40 million euros as net wages per season. The Blues would receive 50 million as transfer fees.
Nevertheless, Lukaku has no desire to play in the Middle East at this stage of his career. He remains adamant about re-joining the Beneamata.
But according to La Gazzetta dello Sport via FcInterNews, Lukaku won’t be able to resit Al-Hilal for too long, so Inter must hurry up and secure an agreement with Chelsea.
As the source explains, the former Everton and Man United bomber must determine his future before the kickoff of Chelsea’s pre-season on July 11.

Moreover, the Blues would love to accept the enticing bid from the Saudi club. They have already sent Kalidou Koulibaly, Edouard Mendy and Hakim Ziyech to the KSA.
For their part, Inter Milan will only be able to offer Chelsea a loan bid worth 5 million euros plus an obligation to buy for 30 million at the end of the season.
We shall see if these figures would be enough to seal the transfer of the Belgium star from West London to Milano.
