​Chelsea transfer list ELEVEN players to raise funds for Inter Milan star Lukaku

Chelsea are preparing to sell an entire team's worth of players to secure Romelu Lukaku from Inter Milan.

The Belgian, who spent time at Chelsea earlier in his career, could be in line for a return to the Premier League this summer.

Lukaku is a key figure for Inter, who won Serie A under the guidance of coach Antonio Conte last term.

But their financial issues mean a mega offer would convince them to sell. A bid of £100million plus Marcus Alonso was turned down.

According to The Telegraph, Chelsea are prepared to sell eleven players to facilitate the deal.

The likes of Kurt Zouma, Ross Barkley, and Danny Drinkwater are all on the chopping block at the Stamford Bridge club.

Davide Zappacosta, Michy Batshuayi, Kenedy, Tiemoue Bakayoko and Baba Rahman are also not wanted by coach Thomas Tuchel.

Chelsea also hope to sign Jules Kounde from Sevilla, who are also demanding a very high fee for their talented centre-back.
