A year ago, everyone’s mouth was full of how Chelsea did a fantastic job when he returned Romelu Lukaku to the club for 113,000,000 euros. Almost 365 days later, the Belgian said goodbye (for now) to the London club.
The strong football player had an almost ideal start to the season at “Stamford Bridge” when he scored the same number of goals in the first three games.
This was followed by a problem with injury, then coronavirus and more and more frequent disagreements with coach Thomas Tuchel, who kept him on the bench more than on the field.
The public was shocked when Lukaku admitted in a New Year’s interview that he was suffering for Inter and that one day he would surely return.
That day came after the loan of the experienced striker was officially completed, arriving for the amount of 8,000,000 euros fixed plus 2,000,000 euros through bonuses that Chelsea will receive.
Lukaku also had to make a financial sacrifice, so Inter will pay his entire salary of 8,000,000 euros a year instead of the 12,000,000 he had at Chelsea.
The whole deal was made official by the president of Inter, Stephen Zhang, who is in more than cordial relations with the popular “Big Roma”.
It is interesting that Lukaku is not the first reinforcement of Inter today, since Empoli midfielder Christjan Asllani also arrived on a loan worth 4,000,000 euros, plus a mandatory buyout for an additional 10,000,000 euros.
Now it is the turn of Dibala and Bremer’s signatures, while the departures of Milan Skrinjar, Edin Dzeko, Stefano Sensi, and Denzel Dumfries are awaited…
