Inter Milan are optimistic that Romelu Lukaku’s transfer will be completed next week

– Inter Milan are hoping to finalize a deal with Chelsea this week for the transfer of Romelu Lukaku.

Lukaku is currently anxiously awaiting an agreement between Chelsea and Inter Milan regarding the transfer fee.

Inter have turned down a €25 million bid made by Chelsea earlier this week.

Il Gazzetta dello Sport say that Inter bosses Beppe Marotta and Piero Ausilio will spend over the next three days finalizing a deal for Lukaku.

Inter will raise the bid to €35 million and are optimistic there will be a deal on Monday.

Lukaku spent last season on loan at Inter after having had a poor season at Stamford Bridge in 2021/22. However, a lack of funds has forced Inter to give up a permanent deal.

The club from Milan realized that they had to move quickly to complete the transfer of the Belgian player. The reason is, Juventus are reportedly also monitoring the situation and it is not impossible to overtake at the corner.

Juventus have reportedly made contact with Chelsea to hijack Lukaku. According to Sky Sports, Juventus have opened talks with the Blues regarding the 30-year-old striker.
