According to talkSPORT, Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku is pushing Chelsea to sell him to Inter Milan this summer.

The 30 year old striker, who has turned down approaches from Juventus and Saudi Arabia, wants his future resolved so he does not have to report back for pre-season with Chelsea.

Inter Milan have had two bids for Lukaku rejected by Chelsea and they are expected to return with a third bid once they have agreed a deal to sell goalkeeper Andre Onana to Manchester United.

New Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino said last week Lukaku was due at the club’s Cobham training ground by Thursday but Chelsea have now extended it to 17th of July and are hoping Lukaku’s future will be resolved before then.
