After Haaland Joins Mancity, Raheem Sterling to replace Lukaku after his exit to Inter
The potential transfer of Lukaku to Inter Milan is very close to being finalized. They will now concentrate on adding a new attacker, possibly even two. Mancity’s Raheem Sterling is an option, but they are asking for sixty million euros to purchase him.

Lukaku’s loan to Inter agreed
Romelu Lukaku, who is currently 29 years old, will be allowed to leave Chelsea. This is according to reports by The Telegraph, which has also reported that the Stamford Bridge team has already presented its financial situation to the Italian club.
However, after it became clear that the Belgian striker wanted to leave Chelsea, the new club owners, which is led by Todd Boehly, were left with no choice but to let the player go on loan. According to the same Telegraph report, Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel was in favor and supported Rumelo Lukako’s transfer back to England.

So, it looks like the Blues have pretty much solved the “Lukaku problem”, and they can now focus on signing new attackers to the squad. They will keep doing it, of course, because Tuchel is in charge and has agreed to take on the challenge of getting another world-class number 9. Although it hasn’t been easy looking for a perfect fit since his arrival.
Raheem Sterling could be a better option for the blues
Eirling Haaland has joined Manchester City and Lewandowski prefers to play for Barcelona rather than the blues, Chelsea doesn’t have many options left. However, if successful could sign either Mancity’s Gabriel Jesus or Raheem Sterling. Raheem Sterling is seen as a good choice because he has scored 17 goals this season, which is two more than Lukaku has scored.
Also, Sterling’s contract with Manchester City only has one year left, which could make the transfer easier to complete, but Man City wants at least 60 million euros to let the striker go. The blues haven’t talked to their rivals about money yet, because the club is waiting to hear from head coach Thomas Tuchel, who may need more than one attacker in the squad this season.
