No way Inter will have a permanent deal with Chelsea, they don't have the money, and they are 1.3 billion in debt.
They only can have him again only on load, thats this.
Inter Milan scammed us out of €115m for Lukaku and now they won't pay up to €30m for the same player; dealing with these broke Milan clubs is insane; they only want to pump money from other clubs but pretend broke when it's their turn to pay. It is clear that they want to run him out of contract and get him for free while Chelsea receives nothing.
It's either pay or Lukaku stays. There will be no further loans.
I don't think they're broke or can't afford him, but they know he's already surplus to requirement at Chelsea, and the fault is that of no one but Chelsea, they were so indecisive with Romelu Lukaku, they had him at first loaned him out year in year out, until it was eventually sold to Everton, I believe that should that should have been the end his spell at Chelsea, Everton had the best version Lukaku for some years before cashing in on him with a deal to Man Utd, the fact that Lukaku didn't fully live up to expectation at Man Utd should have been a kind of signal for Chelsea imo, Man Utd sold for less than paid Everton for his service, just barely 2 years of good, but not so spectacular season at Inter, and there comes Chelsea again, head over heels for him and paid 3x as much they had sold him Everton for without proper thought of how well he'd fit in to their game plan. Inter Milan are just being smart enough to hold their ground and not fall for Chelsea's antics that have worked for them this season in the Transfer Market so far, and should Lukaku stay back at Chelsea, I'm sure they'll probably sell him for less than what they're asking off Inter Mlian.
