Chelsea are reportedly prepared to make a part-exchange deal for Lautaro Martinez this summer, as reported by Cuttomercatoweb. The Blues may pay €50 million for the World Cup-winning striker and add Romelu Lukaku to their roster.
Another group of players leaving might be a solution to Inter Milan’s severe financial woes. Although the Nerazzurri have had to deal with these problems for a while now, this coming summer seems to be the most trying yet.
They need to bring in money. But they also face the real possibility that many of their best players may leave through free agency. Star striker Lautaro Martinez, though, has drawn attention from Premier League clubs. The club must determine what to do with him.

What’s the matter?
The World Cup-winning striker has a number of suitors, including Chelsea. The team from Stamford Bridge is poised to make some major choices before the summer, the first of which is to hire Mauricio Pochettino as their next manager. After that, they’ll make a decision on what to do with their striker, Romelu Lukaku, who is expected back soon.
Earlier rumours out of Italy indicated that Inter Milan did not wish to retain the Belgian striker, who has scored 10 goals this season. However, with both Edin Dzeko and Martinez potentially leaving, a new starting striker is essential.
Chelsea considered giving Lukaku a second shot under new manager Mauricio Pochettino. They could agree to let him use them in return for anything else, however. Speculation had suggested that he may be part of a deal involving Joao Felix. But now it seems that Inter Milan might be willing to let him remain.
Chelsea may now make a formal bid for Martinez as part of a half-exchange deal that also includes Romelu Lukaku. The Blues are prepared to pay €50 million to get the World Cup-winning striker from Belgium. Inter may be tempted to sell because of the prospective offer, since the money would be useful to the club.

Martinez may get lucrative offers from teams in the Champions League next season, despite Chelsea’s absence from the tournament. It must annoy Todd Boehly that both Manchester United and Real Madrid are interested in him.
But they might try to see if Inter sell him, by offering Lukaku and a boatload of cash in exchange for Martinez. It’s unclear whether they’ll agree to such terms, but if they do, everyone stands to gain.
To get his Chelsea tenure off to a strong start, new manager Mauricio Pochettino plans to assemble a new core of free agents this summer. The former PSG and Chelsea manager is likely to take over at Stamford Bridge. His introduction might come as soon as this week. However, Pochettino won’t start working with the team until after the season is concluded. Thus interim manager Frank Lampard will remain in command for the time being.
