Inter Milan’s head coach Simone Inzaghi has made it abundantly clear to the club’s management that he wants striker Romelu Lukaku to be re-signed from Chelsea, emphasizing the urgency of the matter.

While Lukaku’s return to Inter is not yet set in stone, the club is actively working to secure his services once again. Their focus has been on negotiating another loan deal with Chelsea, aiming to bring the 30-year-old Belgian international back to the Nerazzurri.

However, Chelsea has thus far rejected Inter’s loan offer, holding out for a transfer fee of €40 million for Lukaku. This poses a potential stumbling block in Inter’s pursuit of the star striker.

Inzaghi, a strong advocate for Lukaku, would undoubtedly be disappointed if the deal falls through. The former Lazio coach has always held a high regard for the Belgian forward and expected to have him at his disposal when he joined Inter Milan in the summer of 2021.

Lukaku played a pivotal role in Inter’s Serie A title triumph during the 2020-21 season. However, his shock departure to Chelsea meant that Inzaghi had to navigate his first season without the influential striker.

Inzaghi’s second season in charge presents an opportunity to reunite with Lukaku, and he has been vocal about his desire to make it happen. Despite Lukaku facing injury setbacks that disrupted his form during the previous campaign, Inzaghi remains unwavering in his conviction to work with the Belgian once again.

The coach was convinced by Lukaku’s performances in the closing weeks of the season, and he firmly believes that the striker’s return would greatly benefit the team.

As negotiations between Inter Milan and Chelsea continue, it remains to be seen whether the clubs can reach a mutually beneficial agreement for Lukaku’s return to the Nerazzurri. Inzaghi’s determination, coupled with Lukaku’s proven track record, makes for a compelling case for the reunion. Inter Milan’s pursuit of Lukaku will undoubtedly be closely followed by fans and football enthusiasts alike, eager to witness the outcome of this high-stakes transfer saga.
