Inter Milan fear being priced out of a deal for Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku.
Lukaku and Inter are eager to see a reunion after the Belgium international left for Chelsea almost a year ago.
However, Inter to do not have the finances to sign Lukaku outright this summer and attempts to take him on-loan have also hit a roadblock.
Chelsea's £20m loan fee demands are deemed too rich by the Nerrazzuri.
Lukaku is willing to take wage cut to help seal a move back to Serie A but Inter cannot afford to re-sign him permanently and offer Chelsea enough of a return on their outlay, says the Daily Mail.
As such, the centre-forward is preparing himself to return to Chelsea for preseason, despite the clear public signs he wishes to leave this summer.
