It seems that Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku could leave for Inter Milan this summer – but who will new owner Todd Boehly and head coach Thomas Tuchel replace him with? Lukaku has made no secret of his desire to return to the Italian club and Inter CEO Alessandro Antonello says he is hopeful of agreeing a deal with the Premier League side soon.
The 29-year-old joined the Blues for a whopping £97.5m last August but his second spell at Stamford Bridge has not worked out, with the Belgian scoring just eight Premier League goals in 2021-22.
Lautaro Martinez has reportedly snubbed a move to Chelsea but here are four other strikers the club may look to bring in if they decide to offload Lukaku before the new season… The obvious name on this list is of course Robert Lewandowski, who will leave Bayern Munich this summer.
Chelsea are among the clubs desperate to secure his signature. Considered as one of the best strikers in world football, Chelsea boss Tuchel is said to be very keen on signing Lewandowski, who scored a mouth-watering 50 goals in 46 games last term.
