Chelsea are locked in negotiations with Inter Milan over the transfer of Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku, Sky Sports reports.
The Blues are eager to land an elite centre-forward this summer, and Lukaku has emerged as their prime transfer target.
They recently made an £85 million offer with Marcos Alonso acting as a makeweight, but the proposal was rejected by Inter.
The Serie A champions prefer a straight-cash deal for the 28-year-old. They are prepared to sell the striker to the Blues for £102m.
