# Lukaku tells friends he’s willing to rejoin Chelsea

Everton striker Romelu Lukaku has apparently told those close to him that he is open to a return to Chelsea in the summer, even though the London-based side will not be competing in the Champions League next season.

A report by Tony Banks of [The Express](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/662474/Romelu-Lukaku-Everton-Chelsea-Antonio-Conte-Premier-League-Transfer-News-Summer-News) says that the Belgian has told his friends that he would consider a move back to Stamford Bridge as he has “unfinished business” at Chelsea after he was sold permanently for £28million two years ago after loan spells at West Brom and Everton.

The 22-year-old has been in fine form for Everton this season and with speculation mounting about his future, he’s reportedly interested in a move back to Chelsea.

Unfortunately, the Blues did not insist upon putting a buy-back clause in when Lukaku’s deal to take him to Everton went through, meaning Chelsea would have to at least double the £28million they received when they sold him if they do decide they want him back.
