Chelsea are willing to offer €50 million plus Romelu Lukaku for Lautaro Martinez, with Inter Milan set to make an important decision.
According to Cuttomercatoweb, Chelsea are ready to offer a part-exchange deal for Lautaro Martinez in the summer. The Blues are considering spending €50 million plus adding Romelu Lukaku to sign the World Cup-winning striker.
Inter Milan are in dire financial problems as another set of players could leave to help the club balance their books. Despite these issues being present for the last few years, the upcoming summer seems like the most challenging one for the Nerazzurri.
While they need to bring in funds, there is the looming threat of many of their key stars leaving on a free transfer. However, they must also decide on the future of star striker Lautaro Martinez amid heavy interest from Premier League sides.
Chelsea are among those keen on the World Cup-winning striker. The Stamford Bridge outfit are about to make a few key decisions ahead of the summer, starting with the appointment of Mauricio Pochettino as their new manager. After that, they will decide on the situation with their striker, with Romelu Lukaku set to return.
Amid reports from Italy earlier, it became clear that Inter Milan did not want to keep the ten-goal Belgian beyond this season. Yet, if they end up selling Martinez, they would need a new striker to lead the line, with Edin Dzeko also set to depart.
Chelsea had thought about handing Lukaku a second chance to impress under Pochettino. But they might consider him using them in a part-exchange deal. Earlier, stories indicated they could involve him in a deal for Joao Felix, but now they might ponder letting him stay with Inter Milan.
Chelsea had thought about a part-exchange deal involving Lukaku for Martinez, and now they might make a concrete offer. The Blues are willing to add the Belgian striker and €50 million for the World Cup-winning striker. The potential offer may tempt Inter into a sale, with the finances involved likely to help them.
However, with Chelsea not playing in the Champions League next season, Martinez may have big offers from sides in the competition. Manchester United and Real Madrid have shown an interest, which would bother Todd Boehly.
Yet, they might test Inter with the prospect of sending Lukaku and a massive load of cash in return for Martinez. Whether they accept such a proposal remains the question, but this deal may prove beneficial for all parties concerned.
