Now that Thomas Tuchel has been replaced as Chelsea manager, Romelu Lukaku could return to Stamford Bridge.
The German was dismissed after Chelsea’s Champions league defeat to Dinamo Zagreb, and been replaced by Graham Potter, who was formerly in charge at Brighton.
And now the CEO of Inter Milan, Giuseppe Marotta, with whom he is spending the season back on loan, has indicated that this may signal a change in fortune for the Belgians, and that he could return to his parent club ahead of the 2023-2024 season.
Lukaku only scored wight goals after being re-signed for a record fee by the West London club in the summer of 2021, but he has hinted that the problems were just not to do with him, with speculation that Tuchel and the player did not see eye to eye.
He still has another four years left in his current deal with the Premier League side, and, depending on Potter’s assessment of his new squad, could find himself back in their plans for the future.
