After talking about Milan's being in need of a better and more reliable centre-forward I have seen that they are interested in Lukaku seriously. They are even about to make an official offer to Chelsea to sign him permanently. The offer is said to be like 40 million euros. I know how much Chelsea made a loss by selling him and buying him back for a huge amount of money.
But there is really not much of a choice left for Chelsea. They don't plan to have Lukaku in their squad anymore so this is a good opportunity to get rid of him. He needs to be convinced to make this move. I don't know if he can improve his performance at Milan but at least he can stay in Italy just as he wants.
What Milan is thinking is very far from the fans' expectations and if it is true that Milan makes an offer to sign Lukaku this is definitely a setback. We know Milan have just secured around 70 million euros fresh funds after successfully selling Sandro Tonali to Newcastle and I think Milan should be able to find a much better striker than Lukaku with these funds. At Inter Lukaku has often failed to prove his worth and even though Milan started their bid at 40 million euros I don't think it was worth it and it would be better for Milan to start discussing his options again.
Yeah there are surely much better alternatives for Lukaku in the market. Lukaku's recent effort has been quite poor and it is one of the main reasons why Inter aren't keen on continuing with him anymore. Milan would just need to pay some more money than 40 million euros to buy a decent scorer. They should invest into the attacking line thinking of the future of the team.
It started to look like the probability of Lukaku to sign for Milan is going down but it is just an indicator on Transfermarkt of course. Let's wait and see what Chelsea want from Milan to sell him exactly.
Even Inter are well aware of how bad Lukaku's performance was last season and because of that Inter also don't want to extend his loan period to Chelsea. Meanwhile, at Chelsea, Lukaku is no longer needed and Chelsea plans to sell him to another club. I think Lukaku's future is quite bleak and who else would a team that would sign him with the failures he always leaves the team with.
Maybe even if there is an offer from a Saudi league team later, I hope he is not too confident to ask for a higher salary than the existing offer because being able to play for a club outside Europe with an appropriate salary is very good rather than being a burden on the team in europe.
