That writes the newspaper Corriere dello Sport. Chelsea first offered 100 million euros, but Inter wanted 120 million.
English media also report that the transfer, except for some last details, is complete. Lukaku, now 28, was already under contract with Chelsea in the 2011/2012 season. He won the Italian league title with Inter last season.
Inter has to make significant cuts due to money problems, for coach Antonio Conte that was reason to leave. Simone Inzaghi is now the coach.
