Inter Milan will soon According to Sky Sports, Romelu Lukaku, a striker for Chelsea, arrived in Milan on Wednesday to finalise his loan transfer away from the West London club.
The loan transfer for the Belgian attacker to return to the San Siro for the 2022–23 campaign has been agreed upon by Chelsea and Inter Milan.
Lukaku returned to Chelsea from a Serie A club for a club-record £97.5 million last summer, but the Belgian struggled, scoring just eight Premier League goals, leaving the Blues in third position overall.
Reports confirmed that the 29-year-old striker flew into Milan Linate airport around 6.20am local time and posed with an Inter scarf before getting in a car.

TRANSFER: Inter Milan Takes Final Decision On Selling Lukaku To Chelsea
He will undergo a medical with Inter on Wednesday ahead of being officially announced as a new Inter player.
Inter will pay Chelsea a loan fee of £6.9m plus £3.5m in bonuses if they win the Scudetto, and will cover all his wages this season.
Only the final details of the deal need to be resolved before Inter can welcome Lukaku back to the club just 11 months after they sold him to Chelsea for £97.5m.
Lukaku has agreed to a 30-per-cent pay cut to smoothen his exit, with his earnings set to drop from £10m per year after tax to £7m.
The breakthrough last week came after several rounds of negotiations over the past few weeks involving Lukaku’s lawyer Sebastian Ledure and Inter chief executive Giuseppe Marotta.
