Chelsea owner Todd Boehly is set to meet with manager Thomas Tuchel this week about the future of Romelu Lukaku.
Lukaku has been strongly linked with a return to Inter Milan after struggling to cement a regular place in the Chelsea XI following his club-record £97.5million transfer last summer.
The 29-year-old striker has four years left on his contract at Stamford Bridge but he has made it clear he would be interested in returning to Serie A to play for his former side.
La Gazzetta dello Sport says Tuchel will sit down with Boehly on either Wednesday or Thursday to discuss a potential loan deal for Lukaku.
The Italian news outlet claims Boehly will approve the Belgium striker’s departure as long as it’s financially viable.
Lukaku is said to have a private jet on standby to take him to Italy as soon as Boehly approves his loan spell.
Should Boehly decline the move, Lukaku will reportedly ask to meet with the American owner to discuss his future at the club.
