JAKARTA - Romelu Lukaku has reportedly changed his mind and asked Inter Milan to accept a transfer offer from Chelsea if the value is right.
The Blues have offered £85m for the 28-year-old, which the Serie A champions turned down earlier this week.
Inter are confident they can keep Lukaku in light of the player's comments stating that he is happy at his current club.
However, according to a Sky Sports report reported by Antara on Thursday, the Belgian has changed his mind and now wants to return to Chelsea.
Prior to joining Inter Milan, Lukaku played for Manchester United, Everton and Chelsea.
Inter's current financial situation makes it difficult for them to turn down a big offer from another club.
Lukaku also seems eager to return to Stamford Bridge, which he played for from 2011-14.
Now it is only a matter of whether the Blues are willing to increase their bid for Lukaku this summer.
Chelsea even included Spanish defender Marcos Alonso as part of their previous bid.
With Chelsea, Lukaku made just 15 appearances before being sold to Everton following an impressive loan season.
He came close to rejoining the club in 2017, but preferred a move to Premier League rivals Manchester United for £75m.
The Belgian national team player then moved to Italy's Serie A in 2019, joining Inter for a club record transfer fee of 80 million euros on a five-year contract.
