One question is what plan a club has and another is what a football player wants. In the case of Romelu Lukaku, Chelsea have a problem. Inter Milan intend to keep him for the long term and that is exactly what the striker wants , who is known, thanks to 'La Gazzetta dello Sport', who do not intend to return to Stamford Bridge.
That means burning bridges in the face of a possible return to London. It had already emerged that the 'Nerazzurri' were working to close their continuity for at least one more season, but, knowing the footballer's position, it is quite likely that a long-term deal will be sought either in the summer of 2023 or 2024.
