Inter Milan Director Piero Ausilio Provides Update on Inter Milan’s Pursuit of Romelu Lukaku
Piero Ausilio, the sporting director of Inter Milan, has shared his thoughts on the ongoing pursuit of Chelsea’s Romelu Lukaku.
Despite Lukaku’s return to Stamford Bridge after a loan spell with the Nerazzurri last season, Inter Milan remains keen on securing his permanent signing. However, Ausilio revealed that Chelsea is only considering an outright sale, making negotiations complex.
Pireo Ausilio: We want him back
Piero Ausilio expressed Inter Milan’s strong desire to bring Romelu Lukaku back to the Serie A. Ausilio confirmed that the club is actively exploring solutions to make this a reality.
“Lukaku knows we want him back here,” he said, according to TuttoMercatoWeb.
“We’re looking for a solution. He is at Chelsea, and they informed us that he is not available on loan when we got in touch with them.”
“Let’s see later in the window. We are investigating the terms for a permanent move.”
Financial Challenges and Potential Solutions
Inter Milan’s pursuit of Lukaku is complicated by their financial situation. Chelsea’s intention to offload the player at a considerable price makes the reunion challenging for Inter Milan, who struggle to meet the financial demands.
One potential solution to generate funds for Lukaku’s return is the completion of Andre Onana’s expected move to Manchester United. The transfer fee involved in Onana’s transfer could provide Inter Milan with the necessary resources.
Lukaku’s Impact at Inter Milan
While doubts initially surrounded Lukaku’s future at Inter Milan due to a slow start plagued by injuries, the Belgian striker regained his form during the latter part of the previous season.
His contributions played a vital role in Inter Milan’s push for a top-four finish. Despite a missed opportunity in the Champions League final against Manchester City, Lukaku earned the trust of the Nerazzurri faithful.
Both parties are eager to continue their successful partnership; however, financial constraints faced by Inter Milan could pose a significant obstacle.
