Inter Milan want to retain Romelu Lukaku in the club.

Inter Milan are keen to bring Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku back to the club this summer.

The ongoing negotiations with Manchester United over goalkeeper Andre Onana could help Inter raise the finance to bring Lukaku back to the San Siro on a permanent basis.

Lukaku spent last season on loan with Inter from Chelsea and the Belgian scored 14 goals in helping Inter to finish third in Serie A and reach the Champions League final.

Chelsea are thought to want £40m for Lukaku, with Inter looking for £50m from United for Onana, which the Old Trafford club believe is too much.
With David de Gea gone, Erik ten Hag would ideally like to sign the Cameroon international before they go on a four-match tour of the United States next week.

Chelsea are also travelling to the States next week, although it is not known if Lukaku will be in Mauricio Pochettino’s travelling squad.

Inter Milan initially signed Lukaku from Manchester United in the summer of 2019 for a club record 80m euros on a five-year contract.

In 2021, Lukaku returned to Chelsea in a club-record transfer worth £97.5 million (€115 million), becoming the seventh-most expensive player, the most expensive Belgian player and the most expensive player of all time with reference to cumulative transfer fees.
