Chelsea receive transfer boost as Inter Milan identify Romelu Lukaku’s replacement

Reports in Italy claim Inter Milan have identified another striker Duvan Zapata in case Romelu Lukaku joins Chelsea, while Tammy Abraham could replace the Colombian forward at Atalanta.

Chelsea have pounced on Inter striker Lukaku offering €100m plus Marcos Alonso.

According to multiple reports, Inter rejected the offer but would consider selling the Belgian star for an offer exceeding €120m.

Sky Sport Italia claims the player has not snubbed a move to Chelsea yet, while the Serie A champions expect an improved bid from Stamford Bridge, where the Blues are on the lookout for a new centre forward.

Inter would sign two strikers if they sell Lukaku and Atalanta’s Duvan Zapata is on top of their summer shopping list along with Lazio forward Joaquin Correa.

The Nerazzurri have not begun talks with La Dea or Lazio but are considering their options if Chelsea put more than €120m on the table to sign Lukaku.

The report adds that Atalanta could replace Zapata with Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham, but it all depends on Lukaku’s future.
