Chelsea 'to meet Inter Milan chiefs over Andre Onana transfer' as Blues look to replace Mendy and Kepa | The Sun

CHELSEA are ready to meet Inter Milan chiefs over a transfer for Andre Onana.

And Romelu Lukaku's future will be high on the agenda too.

Officials are set to fly to Italy as the Blues begin planning for a summer overhaul.

The Evening Standard say Chelsea want Onana to replace Kepa Arrizabalaga and Edouard Mendy in goal.

Owner Todd Boehly is looking to trim his inflated squad and it's claimed a swap deal involving Lukaku could be on the cards.

£97.5million flop Lukaku has spend the season on loan at Inter but has struggled for fitness.

Lukaku wants to stay in Italy after an unhappy time at Chelsea, but he faces a battle to get them to make the transfer permanent.

The Cameroonian stopper has impressed in Serie A this season, conceding only 18 goals in 20 matches.

But sixth-placed Inter's woes have been at the other end, with Lukaku missing 18 games through injury.

Lukaku can reportedly stay next year on loan again for the same £7million loan fee and £165,000-a-week wages, roughly half his Chelsea contract, but Boehly may prefer to sell him for good.

Brentford’s David Raya, Borussia Dortmund’s Gregor Kobel and Valencia’s Giorgi Mamardashvili are other keepers being monitored by Chelsea.
