Inter Milan CEO Giuseppe Marotta has confirmed the club will not be re-signing Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea on a permanent deal at the end of the season.
Lukaku will return to Chelsea at the end of the season when his loan deal at Inter Milan expires this summer.
“The loan was for one season so on June 30 regardless of how well he plays, he’ll go back to Chelsea,” Marotta told Sky Italia.
“This has been an unprecedented season. I’m referring of course to the World Cup. The problems we’ve experienced have been experienced by other clubs too and the players who played at the World Cup.
“Lukaku is a case in point. [Marcelo] Brozovic isn’t the Brozovic we know. Lukaku hasn’t found the fitness he needs to play his best football. He’s still not at his best or the player we got to see in years gone by.”
