Juventus hero Alessio Tacchinardi can see Chelsea demanding a player in exchange from Inter Milan for Romelu Lukaku.
Inter are struggling to reach terms with Chelsea over a fee for Lukaku - whether the deal be permanent or on-loan.
Tacchinardi is convinced Inter will have to give up a player to re-sign the Belgian.
He told Radio TMW: "Lukaku is one who can shift the balance.
"But I don't think it can happen with Chelsea. I'd be dumbfounded if they want to give him away almost for free.
"They will want an important counterpart."
