Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku has agreed on a return to Inter Milan, it has been revealed.
La Gazzetta dello Sport says the 29-year-old has agreed to rejoin Inter on loan for the 2022-23 campaign, with the move now in the hands of both clubs.
Lukaku re-joined the Blues last summer for a club-record of £98m after spearheading Inter’s run to the Serie A title but has struggled to make an impact at Stamford Bridge, scoring just eight Premier League goals.
He would earn £6.4m-a-year in wages at Inter, lower than the £10.2m plus £2.5m in add-ons he earns with Chelsea – a definite drop of £3.8m.
It goes on to detail that Inter are looking to reach an agreement with Chelsea before the end of June to take advantage of the Growth Decree rule.
The scheme lets teams in Italy buy players from abroad with significant tax breaks, as long as they stay in the country for at least 24 months.
