Swap deal
Lukaku is linked to a move back to Inter Milan and according to the Evening Standard, Chelsea may ask Inter Milan to include defender Alessandro Bastoni and striker Lautaro Martinez in any loan deal for Romelu Lukaku.
Inter cannot afford the £97.5 million Chelsea paid to repatriate Lukaku last summer.
The Italians cannot also cover Lukaku’s basic £200,000-a-week wages, but Chelsea would entertain a swap deal involving Bastoni and Martinez.
