MILAN: Romelu Lukaku is expected to land in Italy on Tuesday evening ahead of his return to Inter Milan on loan from Chelsea, the club´s CEO Giuseppe Marotta has revealed.

Asked when the Belgium striker would be in Milan by reporters on his way out of an Italian Football Federation meeting in Rome, Marotta said "this evening, I think" while getting into a car.

He refused to answer whether free agent Paulo Dybala would be coming to Inter as that transfer has reportedly stalled while the club try to offload players in order to accommodate the Argentina forward.

Lukaku is expected to undergo a medical on Wednesday before making his long-awaited Inter comeback official, after Chelsea agreed to a reported deal in which Inter will pay an initial eight million euros (EUR8.42 million) plus a further potential three million in bonuses for the loan. The 29-year-old will again lead Inter´s attack as they attempt to regain the Serie A title.
