Breaking: Juventus in Advanced Negotiations for Romelu Lukaku as AC Milan Secure Deal for US Phenom Christian Pulisic – Exclusive Transfer Update

Juventus has engaged in discussions with Chelsea regarding the acquisition of striker Romelu Lukaku. Inter Milan has expressed their desire for Lukaku to come back to the San Siro, but they have not presented a satisfactory proposal to Chelsea for the Belgian striker.

Inter may need to sell players to raise funds for the acquisition of Lukaku. Al Hilal from Saudi Arabia continues to show interest in signing the 30-year-old, who joined Chelsea from Inter for £97.5m in August 2021. Additionally, Inter is still in negotiations with Manchester United for the transfer of goalkeeper Andre Onana.

At his press conference following his appointment as the new Chelsea manager, Mauricio Pochettino expressed his belief that Lukaku, who had been neglected by the club, will return for pre-season training next week. Lukaku, who spent the previous season on loan at Inter, had lost favor at Chelsea due to a controversial interview where he expressed his unhappiness under former head coach Thomas Tuchel.

Pochettino stated that the striker must return on July 12-13 to join the team for the start of the pre-season, while it remains uncertain if Inter has sufficient funds to satisfy Chelsea's requirements.

"With all the players that arrive, the first thing they do is to come to my office and say hello. That's what I expect if he's still a Chelsea player."

Additionally, Chelsea has successfully negotiated a considerable percentage for any potential future transfer.
