Chelsea are preparing a new bid for Romelu Lukaku. On Monday evening, Fabrizio Romano revealed that Internazionale has rejected a €100million offer for the striker, but the Londoners are not going to let it go. The day after the first offer, the transfer market expert reports that the Blues come up with a new offer.
Romano reports on Twitter that the new offer is expected to be significantly higher. Chelsea is reportedly willing to offer 120 or 130 million euros for the Belgian goal-getter. In addition, left-back Marcos Alonso would be part of the planned proposal. The journalist also reveals the details of the contract that will be put on the table for Lukaku. The striker could count on an annual salary of twelve million euros and a long-term contract with a switch to Chelsea.
Inter do not want to let the striker leave, but Lukaku himself would be interested in a return to Chelsea. Not only the substantial salary increase, i Nerazzurica Lukaku earns 8.5 million euros annually, but playing in the Premier League also arouses the interest of the attacker according to Sky Italy. The Italian medium, for which Romano works, also reports that Inter already has a shadow list in case Lukaku does leave. The two alternative options are Duván Zapata from Atalanta or Joaquín Correa from Lazio.
Should Inter give in, Lukaku would become the most expensive transfer in club history. In that case, the Belgian also becomes the most expensive purchase in Premier League history.

Goal already reported on Monday that Chelsea sees an opening to release Lukaku this summer from the reigning champion of Italy, where he is still stuck until mid-2024. The reason for this is the financial difficulties at Inter, which made Achraf Hakimi earlier this summer. sixty million euros to Paris Saint-Germain.
