Lukaku turns down Al-Hilal & Spurs

Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku has flatly rejected the possibility of moves to Al-Hilal or Spurs, and is only interested in going back to Inter Milan next season.

This according to Italian news outlet FCInterNews, who report that the Belgian’s will is entirely clear.

As of now, Lukaku remains a Chelsea player.

Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino even suggested that as things stand he expects the 30-year-old to be part of the Londoners’ preseason.

However, all parties are well aware of the player’s real intentions. Lukaku wants Inter, and nothing else.

Inter are now pushing harder than ever to sign the Belgian.

The Nerazzurri’s intention had been to sign Lukaku on a loan deal. However, the Blues’ continued lukewarm reception of loan offers has prompted them to offer a permanent purchase.

Reportedly, Inter have offered around €30 million. Chelsea have turned down this offer, as they are holding out for €45 million.

Meanwhile, for his part Lukaku has always been clear – his priority is to make the return to Inter.

Romelu Lukaku Makes Clear – Only Inter, No Al-Hilal Or Tottenham Hotspur

As part of his determined push to go back to Inter next season, Lukaku has rejected all other possibilities.

FCIN confirm this, noting that the Belgian has rejected out of hand the possibility of joining Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal.

The Saudi club have seemingly moved on by signing Roberto Firmino on a free transfer instead.

According to FCIN, one other possibility that presented itself came from the Premier League. The Italian outlet report that Tottenham Hotspur have shown a tentative interest in signing Lukaku from Chelsea.

The Lilywhites are considering targets in case they were to sell Harry Kane this summer. The 29-year-old Englishman is one year away from the expiration of his contract.

According to FCIN, Lukaku has come onto Spurs’ radar.

However, as with Al-Hilal, the Belgian has made himself perfectly clear.
