Chelsea still owe Inter Milan up to £71million for the summer transfer of Romelu Lukaku.
Lukaku joined the Blues in a club-record £97.5m move from the Italian club in August, signing a five-year deal worth £200,000 per week.
His return to Stamford Bridge is yet to yield the desired results, with the Belgian striker contributing just 11 goals in 31 appearances across all competitions.
