Romelu Lukaku set for Inter return as Chelsea agree to €8 million loan fee

Inter will re-sign Romelu Lukaku on loan after his failed first year at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues club-record signing for £100 million ($136m) will leave for just an €8m (£7m/$8m) loan fee with the potential to earn more through performance-related add-ons.

Lukaku hired a lawyer especially to force the transfer and will take a pay cut to ensure his return to San Siro.
Todd Boehly has prioritised the negotiations around Lukaku to kickstart Chelsea's summer.

The Blues were keen to get his club-high £325,000-a-week wages off their books after a breakdown in the relationship between the striker and manager Thomas Tuchel.

This is despite Chelsea effectively paying Lukaku to play for Inter with yearly installments on his transfer set at €23m (£20m/$24m).

Roc Nation, the sports agency owned by Jay-Z, helped facilitate talks which involved their client, Lukaku, and Boehly, who they've worked with extensively in the past.

The deal shows that Boehly and the new Blues consortium are fully backing Tuchel despite the costs.

Chelsea will now look to add a new attacking signing with Manchester City's Raheem Sterling thought to be a frontrunner to come to west London.

There's an in-house option for Southampton loanee Armando Broja but he is attracting interest from West Ham over a £30m ($37m) transfer.

The No. 9 failed to adapt to life under Tuchel, who places huge demands to press on his forwards.

Unfortunately, that wasn't Lukaku's strength, which saw Tuchel ultimately not use the Belgium international as much as he wanted.

The inability of either player or coach to adapt ultimately led to an unsanctioned interview by Lukaku, which served to alienate him from supporters.

That breakdown in the relationship was never repaired but Lukaku still ended the season as Chelsea's top scorer with 15 goals.

He scored a creditable 0.45 goals per 90 minutes but it wasn't enough to say he properly adapted to the style of play under Tuchel.

Chechnya leader makes Mo Salah honorary citizen

Chechnya leader Ramzan Kadyrov has made Egypt’s talismanic striker Mohamed Salah an honorary citizen of the southern Russian region at a farewell banquet held for the eliminated World Cup side. Rights groups and Western governments allege that authorities in Chechnya repress their political opponents, discriminate against women and persecute sexual minorities, all allegations that Chechnya’s leaders deny. Chechnya has been hosting the Egyptian team’s World Cup training camp and Kremlin-backed Kadyrov has seized on opportunities to appear alongside Salah. Sarah’s goalscoring exploits for Liverpool and Egypt have made him an international superstar. “Mohamed Salah is an honorary citizen of the Chechen Republic. “Yes, that’s right!

Oil prices rise amidst uncertainty over Libyan crude exports

Oil prices rose, Tuesday on uncertainty over Libyan oil exports, although plans by producer cartel OPEC to raise output loom. Brent sweet crude futures, the international benchmark for oil prices, were at 74.95 dollars per barrel at 01.04 GMT, up 22 cents, or 0.3 per cent from their last close. The United States West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were at 68.33 dollars a barrel, up 25 cents, or 0.4 per cent. Traders said prices were mostly driven higher by uncertainty around oil exports by Libya, a member of the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Eastern Libyan commander, Khalifa Haftar’s forces have handed control of oil ports to a separate National Oil Corporation (NOC) based in the East of the country. The official state-owned oil company based in the capital Tripoli, also called NOC, will not be allowed to handle that oil anymore, he said. In comments later confirmed to the media, Ahmed Mismari, spokesman of Haftar’s Libya National Army...
