Inter could very well agree contract terms with Romelu Lukaku for a loan return this summer, but it would then become necessary to convince the new owners of his current club Chelsea on a deal.
This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, who report that the Nerazzurri will be waiting to see whether an agreement is possible with the new regime at Chelsea once Todd Boehly is settled in as owner.
Today’s meeting with Lukaku’s lawyer Sebastien Ledure will strictly be about the agreement between Inter and the striker, and while it is understood that the Belgian will have to take a substantial cut to the €12 million net per season plus €3 million in add-ons he earns at Chelsea, how much exactly will be defined.
However, a personal agreement with the Belgian would only be a part of the way towards a deal, as the Nerazzurri will still have to convince his club on a deal that is financially feasible.
New owner Boehly has completed his takeover of the club from Roman Abramovich, and club director Marina Granovskaia has followed Abramovich out the door, and so Inter are hoping that they can find an agreement with the new ownership.
