Lukaku has scored just five Premier League goals despite setting the Blues back £97.5million last summer.

And he got on the wrong side of Thomas Tuchel, as well as teammates and fans, when he sensationally declared his unhappiness in a shock interview in December.

Part of Lukaku’s outburst included a desire to rejoin Inter, where he netted 47 Serie A goals in just two years.

The Italian champions sold Lukaku to Chelsea, despite winning their first title in a decade, in order to balance the books.

But they are now reportedly keen on re-signing the Belgian on loan this summer.

Indeed, it’s even been claimed Lukaku has already told Chelsea teammates he will be leaving Stamford Bridge come July.

And Lukaku’s reported return has now been given added weight by San Siro legend Bergomi.

The ex-defender played 517 times for Inter during an incredible 20-year career, winning one title, one Italian Cup and three Uefa Cups.

Bergomi, who was also capped 81 times by Italy while lifting the 1982 World Cup, says if he was in charge at Inter, he would immediately get a deal in place to bring Lukaku back.

Bergomi believes the ex-Man Utd forward was Serie A’s best forward by a mile.

And Bergomi claims Inter boss Simone Inzaghi, who only got to work with Lukaku for 10 days before the hitman’s move to Chelsea, told him that the Belgian was the best striker he had ever worked with.

Bergomi told Gazzetta: “Lukaku was the best one in Italy, I think Inter would be another team with him.

“With all respect for Edin Dzeko, Lukaku had a different impact in terms of power, pace and leadership.

“He had Inter in his hands. If there were the conditions, I would bring him back.

“Inzaghi confessed to me he’s never coached such a strong striker despite working with him for just 10 days.”
