Romelu Lukaku loan to Inter Milan to kick-start Chelsea’s transfer business amid Raheem Sterling interest – Paper Round

Chelsea mean business Chelsea will kick-start their summer business after Romelu Lukaku’s return to Inter Milan on loan is confirmed this week. The Mail state that the Blues attempted to include Inter duo Milan Skriniar and Denzel Dumfries in a Lukaku deal, but it will just be a straight loan. The report reveals that Chelsea are targeting Raheem Sterling, who Manchester City value at around £55 million.

Elsewhere, Thomas Tuchel’s side are looking at Ousmane Dembele, Robert Lewandowski, Christopher Nkunku, Jules Kounde, Nathan Ake, Josko Gvardiol, Presnel Kimpembe, Marc Cucurella, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Sergio Dest as they looking to strengthen in attack, at wing-back and in central defence.

Now it looks like they are ready to attack the transfer market in their usual manner.

The club needs a handful of new defenders due to the exits of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen – as well as the rumoured departures of Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso. Lukaku will need to be replaced with an attacker, while Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech could leave and open up spaces within the squad. Chelsea will want to bounce back from a relatively disappointing campaign last year – so this summer will be vital.
