Lukaku given condition to leave Chelsea
<h4><span style="font-size: 14pt;">According to La Gazzetta Dello Sport, Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku will only be able to leave the club on loan this summer, with a &#8220;normalised salary&#8221; funded by Chelsea.</span></h4>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Inter Milan is said to be looking into bringing the Belgian back to the San Siro for next season.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Lukaku has struggled to adapt to Thomas Tuchel&#8217;s tactical set-up at Chelsea since his £97.5 million move from Inter, and has found himself on the outskirts of the squad in recent months.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Despite his desire to return to Italy, Lukaku could only return to Inter on loan.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Chelsea would have to agree to a &#8216;normalised salary&#8217; for the Nerazzurri.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Lukaku&#8217;s current weekly salary of £325,000, amounting to £16.9 million per year, is a huge impediment to a deal with Inter, whose financial situation would not allow them to meet those figures.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The transfer of ownership at Stamford Bridge from Roman Abramovich to Todd Boehly&#8217;s consortium could also result in significant changes, with Marina Granovskaia set to take over as manager until September.</span></p>
