Chelsea and Inter Milan meeting to discuss potential SIX-PLAYER mega transfer swap including stars Lukaku and Onana


CHELSEA and Inter Milan are reportedly meeting to discuss SIX potential transfers in the summer window.

SunSport revealed earlier this week that the Blues could seek to sign keeper Andre Onana in a swap deal with Romelu Lukaku and Kalidou Koulibaly going the other way.

And according to Calcio Mercato, Inter sporting director Piero Ausilio flew to London on Wednesday for discussions with the Premier League club.

Lukaku, 30, was on loan at Inter from Chelsea last season and is keen to remain in Italy.

But he still has three years left on his Stamford Bridge contract, so any move will not come cheap.

As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Koulibaly, 31, is another linked with a move to Inter following a difficult first campaign in West London.

And Mauricio Pochettino is understood to be in the market for a keeper despite Kepa Arrizabalaga and Edouard Mendy both fighting for the No1 spot.

Cameroonian Onana, 27, has enjoyed a sensational campaign with Inter and is thought to be Chelsea’s first-choice signing in between the sticks.

Wingback Denzel Dumfries, 27, is another Inter star linked with a move to the Blues, although Chelsea are not understood to be seeking out wide-right defenders as they already have Reece James and recently signed Malo Gusto from Lyon.

But going the other way, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Trevoh Chalobah are thought to be Inter targets as Ausilio lands in England to begin negotiations.

It is widely understood Chelsea need to sell players this summer to deflate their huge 33-man squad.

And due to Financial Fair Play regulations, they also need to balance the books after spending £600million on players across the last two transfer windows.

A number of players are being linked with a Stamford Bridge exit.

Mason Mount is in talks to join Manchester United, while N’Golo Kante looks set to move to Saudi Arabia.

Mateo Kovacic has received interest from Manchester City, Christian Pulisic is being monitored by AC Milan, Newcastle are in for Conor Gallagher, and Arsenal are pursuing Kai Havertz.
