Nizaar Kinsella from GOAL reports tonight that AC Milan could offer Lukaku an escape route from Chelsea depending on the outcome of their takeover.
Similar to Chelsea, AC Milan’s owners are in talks with another party to takeover, that being Bahrain based Investcorp. Having excelled at rivals Inter, Milan feels that there could be an opportunity in allowing Lukaku an escape route but it depends on a lot of circumstances.
Lukaku’s wages are sat at 325,000 GBP per week which is more than almost every big european team would be willing to pay.
Nizaar goes onto say that The current U.S.-based owners are unwilling to sanction transfers such as Lukaku, but the Middle East investors could look to add a big signing under the right structure.
Likely, they would still look for value in any deal to sign Lukaku and even ask for a portion of his wages to be continued to be paid by Chelsea in any eventual deal.
Lukaku has been linked back to Inter Milan but there is a suggestion that Inter’s target for the striker position in the summer is Sassuolo’s Gianluca Scamacca.
It is felt that a change of scenery could be necessary to overcome what has increasingly become a toxic situation.
Lukaku once again produced a lacklustre display in a Chelsea shirt last night in Chelsea’s 4-2 defeat at home to Arsenal.
