Chelsea: Tuchel would 'seriously consider' selling £76.5m ace at Stamford Bridge

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel would consider letting Romelu Lukaku go if it allowed him to bring in attacking reinforcements this summer, claims journalist Pete O’Rourke.

The 29-year-old’s return to Stamford Bridge has not gone to plan and he is now being linked with a move back to Inter Milan.

According to the Daily Mail, Inter are exploring the possibility of bringing Lukaku back to the San Siro a year after selling him to Chelsea for £97.5m.

The same outlet also states that the striker is willing to take a massive pay cut, showing how much he wants this transfer to happen.

It comes as no surprise, with Lukaku telling Sky Italia at the end of last year that he wants to play for the Serie A side again.

During his time there, the Belgian scored 64 goals in 95 games, winning the Scudetto in the process.

Unfortunately, at Chelsea, he has not been able to replicate his Inter form for various reasons, scoring just eight league goals in the recently-concluded season.

O’Rourke now expects Tuchel to let him go if a good offer comes in. On the Belgium international, the journalist told GIVEMESPORT: “This summer, Lukaku’s future is going to be up in the air, and I think Thomas Tuchel, if he got the right offer, I think he would seriously consider letting Lukaku move on if it allowed him to bring in other forward reinforcements.”

Ironically, Chelsea could return to Inter again this summer to solve this striker nightmare they have found themselves in.

As per The Athletic, the Blues are considering making a move for Lukaku’s former team-mate Lautaro Martinez, who managed to score 21 times in the 2021/22 Serie A season.
