Chelsea bringing back Lukaku to Stamford Bridge?

Thomas Tuchel is currently very busy, battling with Chelsea to secure the Champions League spot in the Premier League, but also to advance to the finals in this year’s competition. However, transfer window is coming up, and the German clearly has some ideas how he wasn’t his team to look like. This will be his first opportunity to bring the players he thinks will improve the squad, and priority number one is striker.

After being paid almost 8.000.000.000 KSH, Timo Werner has not lived up to expectations, to say at least. German’s misses would have left any manager frustrated, yet alone Tuchel, who used to see Werner scoring with ease in Bundesliga and while actually supporting his fellow countryman in the public, he is surely not satisfied with the striker.

Enter goal-scoring machine Romelu Lukaku, the former Chelsea player, the second scorer in Serie A this season under the guidance of another former Chelsea man – manager Antonio Conte. The Sun is reporting that the Blues are priced out of Erling Haaland and have turned their attention to the „cheaper“ Lukaku („only“ 14.000.000.000 KSH). Inter forward has scored 27 goals in 40 games in all competition, and his team in on the brink of winning the Serie A. The Belgian international has already played for the Blues, but also Everton, WBA and Manchester United and racked up 153 goals in 315 games in England.

No use in crying over spilled milk, says Tuchel

It remains to be seen if Lukaku is interested at all. The 27-years old is happy in Inter, he will certainly play the Champions League next season and has an excellent relationship with coach Antonio Conte. Will he be tempted to come back to Chelsea and prove to the management how wrong they were to let him leave without a proper chance?

Chelsea will certainly try, and the huge amount needed for Lukaku’s transfer will be acquired from sale of talented Tammy Abraham and release of Olivier Giroud. Tuchel has totally froze young striker and he is believed to be worth around 6.000.000.000 KSH, while the Frenchman will leave Chelsea as a free agent in June, leaving behind a huge wage, which will be used for Lukaku’s even bigger wage.
