David Ornstein has officially confirmed the exact details of Romelu Lukaku’s return to Inter Milan.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!The fact that the relocation was going to happen had been obvious for a few days, and the only remaining question was the conditions.
Chelsea will not receive the €20 million they had hoped for, instead of receiving only €8 million “plus add-ons” with no opportunity to purchase.
It’s unclear what Lukaku’s salary is, but all prior stories suggested that he was suffering a large personal cost and that Chelsea was paying little if anything.
That’s cold consolation in the face of a disastrous move that’s just going to become worse every year until someone buys him.
We were in so much difficulty that this was about as good an outcome as we could realistically hope for – but at least it’s over now, and we can go on to finding the appropriate answer.
