Chelsea Transfer News: Roman Abramovich personally pushing for Romelu Lukaku
According to transfer news from Eurosport, Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is personally pushing for Romelu Lukaku. While the Russian billionaire will back Thomas Tuchel, it has been said that he is spearheading a move that will see Lukaku return to the club.
A former Chelsea player, Lukaku spent three years at the club. He spent the second and third years of his Stamford Bridge career out on loan before leaving permanently for Everton. Nonetheless, he has managed to lift up his career to greater heights with his stint at Inter Milan.
Despite their recent Serie A win, Inter aren’t in the best of financial positions. Antonio Conte has already left the club and Simone Inzaghi has been appointed. Lukaku is also seeking assurances that the club are heading in the right direction.
Abramovich wants Lukaku back at Chelsea
It has now been reported that Abramovich is personally getting involved to re-sign Lukaku. He believes that the Belgian is the right kind of player to help Chelsea challenge for the Premier League next season. While talks have started, Man City are also after the striker. They are also said to be offering better wages.
