Chelsea to offer Timo Werner to Inter Milan in Romelu Lukaku deal?

Chelsea could reportedly offer Timo Werner to Inter Milan as part of a big-money move for Romelu Lukaku.

The Blues have allegedly identified Lukaku as their number one target in the final third of the field, having admitted defeat in their pursuit of Borussia Dortmund's Erling Braut Haaland.

A recent report claimed that Thomas Tuchel's team were planning to launch a £110m offer for their former striker, who has scored 64 times in 95 appearances for Inter in all competitions.

However, according to Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla, Chelsea could offer Werner to the Italian champions as a makeweight in a move for the Belgium international.

Werner, who has recently been linked with Bayern Munich, is thought to be surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge, less than 12 months after arriving from RB Leipzig.

The Germany international scored 12 times and registered 15 assists in 52 appearances for Tuchel's side during the 2020-21 campaign but only netted six goals in the Premier League.

The 25-year-old still has four years left to run on his contract with Chelsea but is believed to be open to the idea of leaving the European champions in the current market.
