Romelu Lukaku, a striker for Chelsea, reportedly turned down a contract offer from the Saudi Pro League, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. The Belgian feels that it is too early in his career for him to depart from Europe. He believes that Chelsea and Inter Milan can reach a deal since he wants to stay in Italy.

The Nerazzurri want Lukaku, but despite making them to the Champions League final and taking third place in Serie A, they are having some financial difficulties. Lukaku’s loan request from Inter for another season seems likely. They will also inquire about Kalidou Koulibaly, who they are apparently interested in.

Mauricio Pochettino, the new manager of Chelsea, wants to work with Romelu Lukaku, but the former Anderlecht player is reluctant to go back to London.
