Chelsea agree a £97.5m deal with Inter Milan for the return of striker Romelu Lukaku, according to a report.

Romelu Lukaku is reportedly 'one step away' from completing a move to Chelsea, with the Blues agreeing a €115m (£97.5m) fee with Inter Milan for the centre-forward.

The Belgium international has recently emerged as Chelsea's leading target in the final third of the field, and discussions between the Premier League club and Inter have accelerated over the last 24 hours.

According to Sky Italia, the Blues have now agreed a transfer fee for the 28-year-old, who will cost Thomas Tuchel's side €115m (£97.5m).

The report claims that no players will be included as makeweights, with Inter keen on a cash-only deal due to their financial issues amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has claimed that the former Anderlecht youngster has already agreed personal terms at Stamford Bridge, with the Belgian set to receive €12m (£10.2m) per year.

Lukaku previously represented Chelsea between 2011 and 2014 but failed to find the back of the net in 15 appearances during a tough spell in the early stages of his career.

The forward has scored 64 goals in 95 appearances for Inter over the last two seasons, and he has netted 113 times in 252 Premier League outings during spells with Everton, West Bromwich Albion and Manchester United.
