Chelsea star Romelu Lukaku 'wanted back by Inter Milan in shock loan transfer' amid Blues crippling financial sanctions

ROMELU LUKAKU is reportedly wanted back by old club Inter Milan with the Belgian striker struggling at Chelsea.

The 28-year-old rejoined the Blues last summer for a club record £98million.

But after a good start to life back in West London, Lukaku confessed his love for Inter – saying he will return.

The forward was forced to apologise for the unauthorised interview and he hasn't been able to pick up his form since.

Lukaku has just ten goals in 34 games this term.

And according to Calciomercato, Inter are just as interested in a reunion with Lukaku as the player himself.

The club have been left unable to buy, sell or extend contracts.

One of the favourites to complete a takeover is the Ricketts family.

But according to The Times, insiders involved with the bidders are fuming that the scales appear to be tipped in favour of the Ricketts' family.

It is reported that a meeting was arranged by a Chelsea executive committee of Bruce Buck, Marina Granovskaia and Eugene Tenenbaum for Tom Ricketts to meet with former player Paul Canoville over his father Joe's racist comments came to light.
