Romelu Lukaku finally flies to London to complete Chelsea return
Romelu Lukaku is finally flying out to London in order to complete his €115m move from Inter to Chelsea, after first extending with his agent.
The striker had the first part of his medical in Milan on Monday morning, flying out with a private jet to Nice and then staying for a few days in Monaco.
That was to work out some logistical issues and above all extend his contract with representative Federico Pastorello, as confirmed by the agent’s Instagram account.
Now that has been done, the pair have boarded a private jet once again and are expected to land in London this evening, according to Sky Sport Italia, Sportitalia and more.

However, Lukaku will have to wait before meeting up with his new teammates, as Chelsea are in action this evening for the UEFA European Super Cup against Europa League winners Villarreal.
That match is hosted at Windsor Park stadium in Belfast.
Meanwhile, one of Lukaku’s replacements at Inter – Roma striker Edin Dzeko – had his medical in Milan today and will sign the contract which should be to 2023.
