Lukaku's impressive performances earned him a move back to Chelsea, but his second spell with the Blues lasted just one season. The Belgian international scored only15 goals in 44 appearances last term, but he struggled to adapt to Thomas Tuchel's coaching system.
Lukaku was subsequently loaned back to Inter at the beginning of the current campaign, with the Italian club paying Chelsea €8m (£7.1m) plus €3m (£2.7m) in add-ons. Since returning to the Nerazzurri, Lukaku has been hampered by injuries, which have prevented him from finding his best form in front of goal.
In his 11 competitive appearances this season, Lukaku has scored just two goals and provided one assist, but his underwhelming form has not deterred Inter.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter are very eager to extend Lukaku's loan deal beyond the end of the current campaign. The Italian giants are hoping to agree a deal for half of the amount they paid Chelsea for Lukaku's loan last summer.
