40m for the transfer (staggered over multiple years I guess)?

Yes, also when Covid stopped game day ticket sales, Inter have not been making their payments to Man Utd. Their club really is in financial chaos.

the % is unknown

I would be surprised of it was 25%

Yeah, obviously Zaha's case is completely different. United paid £10M for him, only to sell two years later for £3M with the high percentage clauses included. They covered their own £7M losses with the sell-on clause in case Zaha made it big, and Palace were happy accept because they got a talented youngster for practically free.

For Lukaku Inter paid a club record fee for a proven player nearing his peak years so of course they were never going to accept 25% sell-on fee to give United even more money than they already paid, which was already a huge investment for them. It's not like clubs were lining up to buy Lukaku at €75M two years ago so I'd be really surprised if Woodward, a club executive notoriously bad with transfers both incoming and outgoing, pulled off a blinder to get Inter to accept a huge sell-on clause.

that's what they get for selling to Chinese gangsters who don't give a fuck at the end of the day

that club was only 2 or 3 pieces away from being a top 3 on planet level for this coming season

once Conte was to to fuck off when he asked for Rodrigo de Paul (who ended up going to AM for only £31.5m) and was told that Hakimi would be sold, he saw the writing on the wall

Honestly I don’t believe the Lukaku reports, from my understanding of this club behavior this is not consistent with past behaviors. 
 

 

Matt Law, Fabrizio, Simon Johnson of Athletic. It's all the top tier sources reporting

I had hoped the days of throwing money down the drain was over. If all this isn't just smoke, I guess nothing has changed.

Pastorello says yes to #Chelsea. The # Inter: "We are waiting for #Romelu to say it, otherwise for us it is no". Very hot situation https://twitter.com/AlfredoPedulla/status/1422537408294408195?s=20
fingers crossed.

Ahh this is mental.

At least we have a goalscorer I guess. 

Because let's face it, the man can score goals

Yeah, against the low to mid rank sides. He always disappears in big games as his weaknesses are so obvious. 

Honestly see TT having an aneurysm watching him playing upfront.

Well maybe he will flourish in our system with the quality he will have around him. 

Lukaku uptop with Werner playing off him. 

Not sure how this is going to work for Havertz.

Hasn’t Pedulla been a proven bullshitter?

And that alone should make this a deal breaker.

Fucking murders on in here....Bring back the Lukaku come on...

 Lukaku's  agent Federico Pastorello is pushing the player to join Chelsea. #CFC #FCIM (via

@AlfredoPedulla

So would I, if I were an agent, £.

[Tomo 21,733]

@Mana somethings just cropped up in my head that's made me so curious I can't resist asking.

If you think our squad is so shit, why did you want Lampard sacked?

Lukaku is the death of Broja and Soonsup Bell. Classic Chelsea

And Haaland wouldn’t be?

Like I get the narrative of "coming home" and "unfinished business" but come on.. Please no! How do we even line up!? We've seen Kai excel in a further position up the field, shunted out to the wing or side, does not work.

yea Havertz position could be a problem. Sadly we are not going to play 4-back to free one slot in attack...
