Chelsea Flop Romelu Lukaku Reported to Be on the Way Back to Italy After Another Premier League Misfire

• Hulking Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku is rumoured to be on the way back to Italy ahead of the 2022-23 season
• His big-money move back to Chelsea has not been a success, with the club he left Inter Milan believed to be seeking him on loan
• He joined the Blues last year for a club-record fee of £98m from the Nerazzurri after an impressive stint in the Serie A

Romelul Lukaku is reportedly on the way back to Italy's Serie A if reports from that country are to be believed.

The 29-year-old Belgian has been underwhelming since rejoining Chelsea from Inter Milan for a mammoth club-record fee of £98m last year. He managed to bag just eight goals in the Premier League, a far cry from his prolific stay with the Nerazzurri.

According to the Daily Mail UK, Lukaku is in for a loan move back to Inter. Quoting the La Gazzetta dello Sport, the article stated that Lukaku would earn £6.4m-a-year in wages, lower than the £10.2m plus £2.5m in add-ons he earns with Chelsea - a definite drop of £3.8m.

The Mirror recently reported that Lukaku parted ways with his agent Federico Pastorello a few days ago ahead of the proposed loan move.
