Former Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti says Romelu Lukaku's sale will be a huge blow.

Lukaku is now on the brink of being sold to Chelsea.

“I don't know the exact situation, but I think they are certainly attracted by the idea of such a huge sum. I don't know if that's enough to change Inter's economic status," former patron Moratti told Calciomercato.it.

“In one respect, keeping Lukaku means having a strong team, so we need to see what's more important to them, if it's cash or the team.

“It depends I guess on whether a sale is absolutely necessary for them. It'd be a huge disappointment on the sporting level to lose Lukaku, that's for sure."
