Romelu Lukaku flying to London to complete club-record Chelsea move

Romelu Lukaku is flying to London to complete his £97.5m (€115m) transfer to Chelsea from Inter Milan.



The 28-year-old underwent the first part of his medical in Milan after the Italian champions agreed in principle a club-record deal to re-sign the striker.

Lukaku deal announcement won’t be tonight but it’s matter of days. Romelu will fly to London after Monaco step to complete paperworks into his agent headquarters. No problem – it’s 100% done. 🤝🔵 #CFC

No agreement with Atalanta for Abraham – AS Roma and Arsenal are in the race.

The paperwork is now with club lawyers, and once that is formalised, Lukaku is expected to sign a five-year contract, worth £200,000 a week.

Inter have previously rejected two offers from Chelsea for the Belgium international, the second of which was worth £85m (€100m) plus left-back Marcos Alonso.
