Inter could sign Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku on a permanent deal

<p>

Chelsea and Inter are nearing an agreement for the transfer of striker Romelu Lukaku, according to reports. </p>

<p>

Lukaku has rejected a move to Saudi Arabia and remains adamant about playing for Inter next season, which has strengthened his relationship with the Serie A club. </p>

<p>

Chelsea are willing to let go of Lukaku but has turned down Inter's attempts for another loan deal. They are pushing for Inter to commit to a permanent purchase of the striker. </p>

<p>

However, Inter's financial situation poses a challenge as they currently lack the funds for a permanent transfer. They are exploring a loan agreement with an obligation to sign Lukaku next summer. </p>

<p>

A compromise is expected to be reached soon, with all parties eager to see Lukaku continue at Inter. The most likely outcome is a loan deal with an obligation to buy. </p>

<p>

Inter may generate funds through potential player sales, such as Marcelo Brozovic to Al Nassr and negotiations with Manchester United for goalkeeper Andre Onana. </p>

<p>

Chelsea have already strengthened their attack with the signings of Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson. </p>

<p>

They haven't ruled out adding another prominent striker, with Victor Osimhen of Napoli as a top target. </p>

<p>

The club are also seeking a new goalkeeper and expect to bring in at least one midfielder, prioritising Brighton's Moises Caicedo. </p>
