Romelu Lukaku set for Chelsea return July 17

Chelsea striker, Romelu Lukaku, is set to return to the Premier League club for the start of pre-season.

The Belgium captain spent the entirety of last season on loan at Inter Milan.

Although Lukaku is very keen on continuing with the Serie A side, both clubs have not been able to agree on a transfer fee.

According to football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, Lukaku is now expected back in Chelsea training on Monday, July 17.

Romano wrote: “Romelu Lukaku is now due to return at training with Chelsea on July 17th.

“No decision made yet on the player’s side on how to handle the pre-season situation — it will be discussed in a few days. Inter will return with a new bid very soon.”

Romano also revealed that Manchester City have reached an agreement to sign Harrison Parker from Manchester United.

Parker is a talented 16-year-old centre-back.

“Manchester City are close to reaching an agreement with Manchester United for top talented CB (16) Harrison Parker.

“City has beaten four top clubs to the signing — agreement is close despite Man Utd offering highest youth deal to keep Parker,” Romano tweeted.
