Chelsea are willing to sanction a loan move for Romelu Lukaku though Inter Milan fear their chances of striking a deal are minimal due to the finances involved.
Lukaku wants to re-join Inter after a frustrating first campaign back at Stamford Bridge following his club record £97.5m return last summer.
Inter want to bring the Belgian back too, however they are concerned about their ability to come up with the money to make a deal with Chelsea work.
Lukaku is willing to take wage cut to help seal a move back to Serie A but Inter cannot afford to re-sign him permanently and offer Chelsea enough of a return on their outlay.
