Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku could be available for €80m (£69m) this summer, according to reports in the Italian media.
The Nerazzurri have hit financial problems and the decision to sell one of their key players is likely to lead to Antonio Conte quitting his post this week. Chelsea are, however, keen to take advantage of the situation and are said to have already contacted Lukaku’s agent.
The Belgian has scored 30 goals in all competitions this season, and the majority of fans on Twitter believe they should snap up the former Manchester United player if he is available for such a low price:
If this is true then we HAVE to sign him

Still not sure Chelsea should get him. The way we play with high press not suited to that imo.

Considering that Erling Haaland and Harry Kane could cost double, it does seem like Lukaku would be the sensible alternative, but, it must be said, not every supporter will be excited about his return to Stamford Bridge.
The 28-year-old did struggle somewhat at United and it will be hoped that he can sustain the sort of form that he has shown at Inter.
