Chelsea seem to have stepped up their pursuit of signing Romelu Lukaku and if the latest reports are correct then the Blues should be able to land him.

Inter Milan are reluctant to sell the 28-year-old this summer especially after losing Achraf Hakimi to PSG but according to Sky Sports journalist Angelo Mangiante, the Premier League side are coming up with all sorts of crazy numbers.

According to Mangiante, Inter have rejected Chelsea’s first offer but the Blues are going to go back with a new and improved bid, something which the Italians might not be able to resist.

He wrote on Twitter: “The first official bid was €100M + Marcos Alonso and it was rejected by Inter.

“If the next Chelsea’s offer for Lukaku will be around €120m + Marcos Alonso could be different and it would be very difficult for Inter to say no.

“Lukaku has not yet said no.”

Inter Milan are amidst financial turmoil so €120 million is a lot of money for them. And if Chelsea are indeed ready to add Marcos Alonso to the mix then it’s only a matter of time before Romelu Lukaku is coming back to England.

The forward has not shown any signs of discontent at the club but with Antonio Conte leaving, there was always this chance that Romelu Lukaku would also head for the exit doors.

The Blues have shifted their focus to the 28-year-old after missing out on Erling Haaland and they seem to be moving in fifth gear in terms of landing Lukaku.

The Belgian international is currently valued at €100 million so a €120million-plus-Alonso deal seems pretty fair for him. And if Chelsea are ready to put the said amount on the table, it’s only a matter of time before Romelu Lukaku comes back to Stamford Bridge for a second stint.
