La Gazzetta dello Sport: “Lukaku and Inter are ready to pay the loan. The Dumfries card was crucial”

It seemed impossible Romelu Lukaku can return toInter, rather today is a tangible possibility. Never as this time, the parties are convinced that there is space and time to go down this still narrow path, together. As I mentioned Gazzetta dello sport, the Nerazzurri are willing to seize the opportunity and take back the Belgian on loan, even if it is costly. The attacker has already spoken with Boehly, top ChelseaAnd he confronted Tuchel, the coach, asking to “release him” and get the opener from Chelsea. Of course, not for a free loan, but this no longer frightens Inter, who is also ready to merge Denzel Dumfries, a player interested in Blues, in negotiations. In theory, they would be two distinct processes, and in practice they would run on parallel paths. And here exactly the parties seem to be off, despite the phones ringing.

The Dutch club’s valuation of 40 million euros is necessary to cancel this practice, while for the English it is 25 million euros. Chelsea have made clear, however, that they are satisfied with a smaller figure of the 24m annual depreciation fee, especially if someone repairs the right wing. Next week will be the most important: either Lukaku lands in Milan, or farewell to the Romelu-bis dream.
