Chelsea are close to finalizing a £97.5 million (€115 million) agreement to re-sign Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku.


Both clubs are still working out the final details of the deal, which will see Lukaku sign a five-year contract with the Blues.

Chelsea had submitted two bids for the Belgium international, the second of which was around £85 million (€100 million) plus left-back Marcos Alonso.



Lukaku, 28, left Chelsea in 2014 after only 15 appearances after joining from Anderlecht in 2011.

Lukaku, one of Europe's most prolific attackers, scored 87 goals in 166 games for Everton between 2014 and 2017, then 42 goals in 96 games for Manchester United before joining Inter in 2019.

Last season, he scored 24 goals in Serie A, helping Inter win their first Scudetto in 11 years and ending Juventus' nine-year run as Italian champions.

Inter's wage bill must be reduced this summer, and title-winning manager Antonio Conte left the club in May amid concerns about the club's financial cuts.

Chelsea are keen to sign a world-class striker during the summer season, and Borussia Dortmund's Erling Haaland is another target for the Blues.
