Sky: Milan open new talks with Chelsea for Lukaku loan – the details | OneFootball

AC Milan have opened new talks with Chelsea in an effort to sign Romelu Lukaku on loan this summer, with Joshua Zirkzee still viewed as the main attacking signing.

As reported by Sky Sport Italia, the Rossoneri are pushing to have two quality strikers at the club next season and want Lukaku to go out on yet another loan.

Milan will be talking with Lukaku’s agent in the near future but Chelsea are not expected to be handing out any favours. Since rejoining the club and having a poor first season, Lukaku has been on loan at Inter and Roma.

The Premier League side would much prefer a permanent sale of Lukaku, but Milan won’t buy Zirkzee and Lukaku outright.

The Belgian striker is currently at Euro 2024 and with his side standing a good chance of getting into the round of 16, the deal is unlikely to happen quickly.

Lukaku scored 21 goals across all competitions for Roma last season, but the Giallorossi could not afford to buy him permanently.

His relationship with the Inter fans who used to adore him so much would be tarnished even further if he opted for a loan at Milan, but the Rossoneri are pushing to give themselves two quality attacking options.
