Chelsea Ready to Lose Millions Spent on Romelu Lukaku After Jay Z Intervention

• Chelsea have agreed to let Romelu Lukaku leave on a permanent deal to Inter Milan after talks between his representative and the club
• Lukaku is a signee of Jay-Z's Roc Nation Sports, which represents his interests, while the Nights in Paris hitmaker is said to be friends with Chelsea owner
• The Belgian striker is on a one-year loan deal in Italy, but the new arrangement will see that deal become permanent

Romelu Lukaku could soon become a permanent Inter Milan player again after a failed move to Chelsea.

Lukaku is currently at Inter Milan on a one-year loan deal, but the move could be made permanent soon following reported talks between popular rapper and business mogul Jay-Z and Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly.

The two Americans are said to be close friends and as the Mirror reports, Jay-Z has reportedly advised Boehly that Lukaku leaving Chelsea permanently will suit all parties.

Jay-Z is the owner of Roc Nation Sports, a company that Lukaku is signed to. Lukaku and Jay-Z are also close friends, after developing a special bond following their meeting in 2018.

Chelsea transfer failed to work

Lukaku's high-profile transfer to Chelsea backfired after he struggled to perform as expected. He joined Chelsea right after leading Inter Milan to their first Scudetto in over 10 years.

Despite starting brilliantly under Thomas Tuchel, the Belgian waned off and was shut out by the manager. He then conducted an unauthorised and controversial interview which further complicated issues for him.

The new deal will now see the loan deal extended by another year, before Inter makes the deal permanent in 2024. Lukaku had signed a five-year deal at Chelsea.

Lukaku had ruled out a return to Chelsea

Sports Brief had earlier reported that Inter Milan striker and Chelsea loanee Romelu Lukaku had reportedly ruled out a sensational return to the Premier League, as the Nerazzuri prepare to make his loan move permanent.

Lukaku made a stunning return to Inter Milan this past summer after a disappointing season at Chelsea, where he struggled to replicate the form witnessed at Inter.

Lukaku had one of the best individual seasons in his career when he won the Italian Serie A with Inter Milan. He also came close to clinching his first golden boot in the league.
