Chelsea remain busy in this summer transfer as they pursue new faces for the team signing five new players.
Nevertheless the club remains active and should continue at this pace at least during the first window of Enzo Maresca as the head coach.
It might take a few more weeks for the pre-season to begin and for Maresca to have meetings with other new players, and possibly discuss more transfers in and out.
Well, the Blues are preparing for their tour in America next week and after that they have lot of activities in Stamford bridge.
In the midst of this, Chelsea might be surprised with the new breakthrough regarding Romelu Lukaku transfer issue.
Several sources indicate that Manchester United may consider Lukaku as the next option after missing out on signing Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna.
As for the rumours that Lukaku will return to Maresca’s team and leave Chelsea mid season, he has a contract with Chelsea signed for five years and has one year left on his contract.
The club wishes to sell him in the current season to offload as much of the accounting value of £38 million as possible.
It is worth remembering that the United’s coach did not hesitate to buy Lukaku in 2017, and after the failure of Alvaro Morata, Chelsea could regret not having signed him.
However, his potential return at this time would not make Old Trafford regret his exit again.

For Chelsea to be satisfied with their dealings in the market, they would be keen to about close almost £38 million for Lukaku.
United has the funds, while Zirkzee’s transfer fee should not cost more than £35 million.
The question arises as to whether United is willing to spend this amount on a 31-year-old, who has underperformed over the past few seasons.
Chelsea can comfortably employ severance tactics in trying to get this deal through.
Over the past few seasons, they have been trying to find a permanent solution for Lukaku, in Italy, Saudi Arabia or wherever they deemed fit.
The club still wants a quick solution to the matter in question. Even if Lukaku joins a direct competitor, Chelsea continues to seek to bring the relationship to an end.
