Todd Boehly makes Romelu Lukaku transfer decision

 New Chelsea owner Todd Boehly is reportedly happy to let Romelu Lukaku re-join Inter Milan.

The Belgian, 29, has scored just eight Premier League goals for the Blues since he was re-signed from the Italian side for £97.5million last summer. It marked a sharp decline for a player who found the back of the net 30 times in all competitions for Inter during the 2020-21 campaign.

Lukaku has struggled at Chelsea since suffering an ankle sprain in October. That injury saw him lose his place and he was forced to apologies to supporters in January after admitting he was "not happy" at the club and wanted to play for Inter again one day.

According to The Telegraph, Lukaku's dream may come true this summer. It's claimed Boehly believes Lukaku's proposed return to Italy would be the 'best course of action'. The face of Chelsea's new ownership is reportedly involved in the transfer talks.

Boehly's consortium completed a takeover of the Blues last month, ending Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich's 19-year reign. Chelsea are set to make a number of signings this summer to give Thomas Tuchel the best chance of winning the Premier League title.

Lukaku is expected to return to Inter on loan and it is hoped a deal can be agreed by the end of the week. The forward will need to take a wage cut to facilitate the move and the Blues are likely to cover a chunk of his reported £350,000-a-week salary.
