Romelu Lukaku joined Chelsea from Serie A champions Inter Milan in the summer of 2021 for a club-record fee of £97.5 million. Despite being a marquee signing, the 28-year-old forward has recently fallen out with the club and manager Thomas Tuchel.
In a recent interview, Lukaku said he was not happy at Chelsea and was not a fan of the system Tuchel is using at the club. The 28-year-old forward also suggested that he is keen on returning to Inter Milan again.
His words did not go down well with Tuchel, who dropped him from the squad for Chelsea's game against Liverpool. The Belgian has now been linked with a move away from Chelsea, with tabloids linking him with a transfer to Tottenham Hotspur.
It is worth reporting that Kane was also reported to be unsettled at Tottenham following a failed move to Manchester City last summer.
Romelu Lukaku hasn't had the best of campaigns for Chelsea
Romelu Lukaku hasn't had the best of starts to his second stint at Chelsea. The 28-year-old has struggled with form and injuries during his time at Stamford Bridge.
He has scored just seven goals and provided two assists in 18 appearances for Chelsea across competitions. The forward suffered an ankle injury in October before getting infected with COVID-19 in December.
However, the 28-year-old forward did score two goals in as many appearances for the Blues on his return. Lukaku scored and assisted in Chelsea's 3-1 win over Aston Villa before scoring against Brighton in a 1-1 draw.
It seems like his time at Chelsea is now coming to an end following his controversial interview. He was not in their squad for the league game against Liverpool, which the Blues drew 2-2 at Stamford Bridge.
However, Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has suggested that the Blues are not planning to sell Lukaku in January.
Thomas Tuchel will meet with Romelu Lukaku in the coming hours to discuss about his interview, feelings and behaviour looking for a solution. Chelsea are not commenting - waiting for manager decision. 🔵 #CFC
Club still not planning to sell/offload Romelu in January. https://t.co/sqdLCzjuH3
It remains to be seen if Lukaku can revive his fortunes at Chelsea or continue to be frozen out of the team.
