However, his return to the club did not quite go according to plan, with the forward struggling in front of the goal during the first season.

Subsequently, he was sent on loan to Inter Milan before reuniting with Jose Mourinho at AS Roma during the just-concluded season.

However, he seemingly does not have a future with Chelsea, at least going by the latest developments.

According to The Mirror, the west London club are not interested in another loan deal for the forward.

Instead, the 2021 Champions League winners are said to be desperate to offload the former Manchester United star permanently.

The Belgium attacker is understood to be on a wage of £325,000 per week, and Chelsea are reportedly intent to get him off their books.
