Lukaku-Skriniar, crossed fates? The Inter-Chelsea alliance opens up new scenarios

The Belgian’s return to Italy does not provide for the inclusion of counterparts, but the Londoners can obtain a preferential channel

–

The negotiation for the Romelu Lukaku’s return to Inter has entered the decisive phase: Chelsea has been open for days to the hypothesis of a loan, the two clubs will have new contacts in the next few hours, and the white smoke appears ever closer. In the operation, as repeated several times by the Nerazzurri management, there will be no inclusion of counterparts but, as he writes Tuttosportthis operation could give rise to an interesting market axis on the Milan-London axis:

–

“The deal suffered only a small slowdown due to the trip of Todd Boehly, the new owner of the club, to Los Angeles. The substance, however, does not change, given the willingness of the parties to close it. Inter because, thanks to the great work on the side of the attacker on Chelsea, one year after the sale they could re-embrace their star player at discount prices (while also preserving the benefits of the Growth Decree); the Stamford Bridge club because, in the short term, a problem would arise, then because he hopes that Lukaku in Milan will be able to relaunch himself, and finally because this is an opportunity to open an important preferential channel with Inter. Which, among the greats of Europe – this should never be forgotten – is the only club that has the “structural” need to sell at least one of its jewels every summer“.

“The Lukaku card is an excellent business card for possible future negotiations, while, immediately, in the preliminary speeches between the managers of the two clubs, the name of Milan Skriniar appeared for which Paris-Saint Germain has already made a first offer from 50 million plus 10 of bonus already rejected to the sender. […] At Stamford Bridge, where they are looking like hotcakes for a great central defender, there is the belief that thanks to Lukaku Chelsea can get a “favorable” price for Skriniar also because the Blues could offer a package that also includes Denzel Dumfries, more very popular player at those latitudes“.

“Looking at the situation from the point of view of the targets that are called upon to hit Marotta and Ausilio (positive balance of 60 million on the market and the reduction of the total wages equal to 15%), it can be safely emphasized that Inter is now close to achieving the objectives. . The first, of course, is to close the Lukaku deal. And also in this case the close alliance between the two clubs should avoid the risk of a trickle between offers and counter offers with the loan figure that should crystallize at eight million: Inter made it known, through lawyer Ledure, that you can’t go any further, and confidently awaits a positive response from Los Angeles where Todd Boehly, new owner of the club, landed late in the evening“.
