While his future is defined, what Lukaku did that surprised Chelsea

Romelu Lukaku is one of the big names in the Chelsea transfer market. Once Pochettino and Chelsea have expressed their desire of not counting on the player for next season, it remains to find a solution to let Lukaku leave the club. At the moment, the Belgian 30-year-old player has rejected several offers from the Saudi league, where Al Hilal would be interested in signing him, while the player wants to continue his career in Europe.

In this sense, Lukaku has a good market in Italy after having played on loan for Inter last season, where the player would be willing to return, but Inter hasn’t found funds to afford his transfer yet. Actually, the Italian team is trying to raise fresh money through the sale of Andre Onana in the next few days, which could make Inter be ready to improve its last offer for the player, which Chelsea immediately rejected.

Meanwhile, Lukaku has been allowed to return to the training until July 17, and everybody at Chelsea hopes Lukaku's departure could have been sealed by then. The player is currently on vacation in Turkey, regarding the situation and waiting for a solution. However, he has surprised the Chelsea fans with the last post he uploaded to his personal social network, where he appeared working out very heavily and getting ready for his next challenge.

Lukaku is running out of time

The player is currently pushing Chelsea to negotiate with Inter as that is his preferred destination, while Juventus is also keen on signing him for its new project. The Italian team could even have proposed Chelsea a potential swap deal involving Lukaku and Vlahovic, one of the Chelsea main targets in the market, but Lukaku could do everything this week to make Chelsea accept a potential Inter offer to leave London.
