Romelu Lukaku starts Chelsea medical after €97.5m fee agreed with Inter as he maybe part of porter's lineup against Fulham on Saturday

 




Romelu Lukaku has completed the main part of his Chelsea medical in Milan after the Premier League club agreed to pay Internazionale €115m (£97.5m) to re-sign the striker.


Lukaku left Milan by private jet on Monday evening to complete a move that will bring the transfer fees – excluding loans – spent on the Belgium international to about £285m. The amount to be paid by Chelsea falls shy of the Premier League record £100m spent by Manchester City to buy Jack Grealish from Aston Villa.


Thomas Tuchel has made a striker his priority and Chelsea moved for Lukaku after concluding that targets such as Erling Haaland and Harry Kane were out of reach. Lukaku said in June that he would be staying at Inter after winning Serie A but told the club last week that he wanted to rejoin Chelsea. He is expected to be paid about £250,000 a week.
