Reports have claimed that Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku is now desperate to leave this summer.

According to The Athletic, the Belgian is prepared to even take a pay cut if it means he can secure a move back to Inter Milan for next season.

Currently, Lukaku is set for a return to Stamford Bridge after his season on loan in Serie A came to an end last weekend.

It ended in heartache for the 30-year-old, as he was part of the team who fell just short in the Champions League final.

It has not taken long for discussions to begin on where he will be plying his trade next season, with his time at his dream club so far not being made permanent.

There have been reports that new manager Mauricio Pochettino has been considering giving the striker another chance to impress in the Premier League.

However, reports now state that Lukaku believes he has played his last game for Chelsea, and hopes that his career continues in Serie A.

The Blues certainly have a decision to make though when it comes to strikers. If it isn’t the Belgium international, they will certainly need to invest in the position going into next season.

There have also been reports that Saudi Arabia are keen to bring Lukaku in, with them reportedly holding a meeting with the player just days after the Champions League final.

He is reportedly intrigued by the prospect of the deal, however would be looking for a higher wage than was verbally offered to him when they discussed terms.

Chelsea meanwhile are reportedly considering Dusan Vlahovic, whilst also keeping an eye on Lukaku’s teammate at Inter, Lautaro Martinez, who certainly impressed with his work-rate on Saturday.
