Evening Standard: Lukaku’s firm stance regarding Milan and Newcastle interest emerges

Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku will snub interest from AC Milan and Newcastle United this summer, according to a report.

An article on Goal by the reliable Chelsea journalist Nizaar Kinsella claimed that the Rossoneri could offer an escape route to save Lukaku from his Chelsea ‘nightmare’ if the takeover talks ongoing between Investcorp and Elliott Management are successful.

However, there has now been an update on those rumours as the Evening Standard are reporting that that Lukaku ‘will reject any interest’ from Milan and also Premier League side Newcastle this summer with the Magpies happy to pay his transfer fee and wages.

It seems that the Belgian striker wants to try and turn around what has been a very difficult first season since his return to Chelsea and does not want to upset the relationship that he has with the Inter fans, having left Milan’s city rivals to move back to west London.
