The return of Romelu Lukaku to Stamford Bridge hasn’t gone the way he nor Chelsea would have hoped. Furthermore, during an interview, the 28-year-old recently stated his unhappiness with manager Thomas Tuchel.
As a result, the German tactician decided to drop Lukaku against Liverpool, so his future remains uncertain, but perhaps there might be a way out. La Gazzetta dello Sport (via Marca) reports that the Belgium international could force a reunion with Antonio Conte.
The Tottenham Hotspur boss did manage the Chelsea striker at Inter Milan, where they won the Serie A title. The door is reportedly closed at the Italian club, so a reunion might be in store.
Also, it seems as though the Italian tactician is the manager to get the most out of him. Spurs need another forward that can provide goals for their squad to lessen their responsibilities on Harry Kane and Son Heung-min.
However, a deal between two rival London clubs doesn’t seem likely, but if Conte wants to reunite with Lukaku and the striker feels the same way, there might be a possible deal.
Still, the €115-million price tag Chelsea paid for might be too rich for Tottenham if The Blues hope to recoup a significant portion of what they paid for this past summer.
