Inter Milan have left the negotiations with Chelsea over the proposed permanent transfer of Romelu Lukaku, according to Fabrizio Romano. Apparently, the trigger that made the Nerazzurri react in such a way was the fact that talks had also been held with Juventus, their fierce Serie A rivals.
The 30-year-old striker is now set to return to London on Monday, but Chelsea s plans for him have not changed, he will not be a part of the squad that travels to the USA. There have been no talks between him and manager Mauricio Pochettino; the club want him to leave.
With Inter now out of the picture, the options remaining are a move to the Saudi Pro League, which Lukaku himself rejected recently, and of course, Juventus. But Juventus will only take serious steps in that direction…
