Big Rom will do anything possible to avoid a return to Chelsea

Inter are paying just part of his salary for the current campaign. Nerazurri are facing Cremonese today

No going back to Stamford Bridge! That's apparently the idea of Romelu Lukaku, according to Tuttosport.

Chelsea player on loan at Inter Milan is ready to take a pay cut to avoid returning to Chelsea in the summer.

Lukaku returned to the Guiseppe Meazza on loan last July, and the Nerazzurri will decide whether to keep him for one more season depending on his performances in the second part of the campaign.

The Belgium international is desperate to remain at Inter in 2023-24, avoiding a return to Stamford Bridge.

"He is ready to take a pay cut to stay at the Stadio Meazza. Inter are paying just part of his salary for the current campaign and spent €8m plus potential €3m add-ons to bring him back to the club last summer. Now, they will ask for a discount for a second season on a loan for Lukaku, but Chelsea are unlikely to match the Nerazzurri's demands asking to include an option to buy," explains Tuttosport.

Big Rom is expected to go on the bench again for Inter on Saturday afternoon, with Edin Dzeko and Lautaro Martinez starting against Cremonese.

They are the only Serie A team with no victories this season. Cyriel Dessers is back for Cremonese and will partner with David Okereke upfront.
