Chelsea dealt Romelu Lukaku transfer blow

Chelsea have been dealt a transfer blow with Inter Milan reluctant to sell Romelu Lukaku at any price.

The Blues are looking for a world-class striker this summer, and they have been linked with their former player.

It was recently reported that Lukaku could be sold by the Nerazzurri as they need to recoup around £80m to balance their books.

However, according to ANSA, the club value Lukaku as an indispensable figure, and won't consider any offers for the Belgian.

Instead, they are prepared to offload other players in the squad. Achraf Hakimi has been linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain.

The Blues have also been credited with an interest in the Moroccan, but he won't come on the cheap with a price tag of £69m.

Thomas Tuchel's side may look at other high-profile strikers, and Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski could be an option for them.

Lewandowski recently said that he is open-minded regarding his future. He is reportedly keen on a move to the Premier League.
