Inter to extend his contract? I don't think they would plan to do such thing at the moment. Because Lukaku's recent performance was quite inadequate first of all. He played a big role in Inter's losing the Champions League in 90 minutes as well by wasting important chances. He is just an inconsistent player these days. We don't have the old productive striker Lukaku here. Maybe he isn't the same in his national matches. Because he is scoring many goals there with Belgium recently.
But this isn't enough to convince Inter as long as he doesn't reflect this performance onto his matches at Inter. Chelsea also don't seem to have plans for him so I wonder how he will end up this summer.
Romelu Lukaku was a total flop this season, netting just 14 goals with 7 assists in 37 appearances for Inter, which is completely understandable given his long-term injury this season; however, he did not deserve accolades because he was unable to rebound back to his peak. Inter experienced a different version of Lukaku when he returned to Italy; he's not the Lukaku who plays for Chelsea anymore; he's changed a lot. That's the concept; Romelu Lukaku doesn't seem a consistent player; he might do great one season and then flop the next; that's how these players are.
Injury is an increase in Lukaku's performance getting worse but actually as long as he is not injured it is also a little difficult for Lukaku's performance because indeed for several seasons after his good performance at Inter and Lukaku his performance worsened again at Chelsea.
Now Inter are trying to borrow considering the conditions they are trying to make but it looks like selling Lukaku to Chelsea is a certainty and indeed the price is not that high now I think because looking at the cut that Chelsea made 34 million as an initial clause it is clear they don't want to give a chance again this time to Lukaku at Chelsea.
The latest news seems to be that Inter will sell off several young players such as Samuele Mulattieri, Facundo Colidio, Darian Males, Martin Satriano, Sebastiano Esposito and Eddie Salcedo. for the plan to buy Lukaku because they think that Lukaku is suitable to partner Lautaro.
