Romelu Lukaku has wrapped up a loan move back to Inter Milan. Despite having completed a transfer to Chelsea to the tune of £97.5 million just 12 months ago, the Belgian striker has backed his chat and followed his heart by reuniting with the Serie A giants.
Ever since his controversial interview with Sky Italia in December, there has been a quiet feeling that Lukaku would angle for a reunion with Inter having enjoyed such a lucrative two-year spell on their books.
However, that doesn’t make it any less jarring that Chelsea have shipped out their club-record signing, who – lest we forget – was their top scorer in all competitions last season, just one year on.
But considering all the ill feeling towards Lukaku from Blues fans since he publicly flirted with Inter, the situation is arguably made all the more remarkable by the fact that so few supporters are sad to see him go.
