ROMELU LUKAKU sensationally revealed he wants to return to Inter Milan as he lashed out at Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel.
The striker, 28, left fans of the Italian side furious last summer when he quit them to head back to Stamford Bridge in a £97.5m move.

Lukaku fired Inter to a first Serie A title in 11 years with 24 league goals last season.
But the club's ultras were quick to forget as they defaced a mural of Lukaku upon his departure in the August.
They vandalised the artwork and also produced a banner accusing the Belgian of 'breaking their balls'.
While the club's Curva Nord ultras accused Lukaku of being a 'money-grabber' on their Facebook page.
But now he has tried to make amends with those supporters he left upset by declaring his desire to return to Inter after admitting how unhappy he is at the Blues in an explosive interview.
Lukaku told : “I think everything that happened last summer was not supposed to happen like this... how I left Inter, the way I left the club, how I communicated with Inter fans - this bothers me because it was not the right time.

“Now it's the right time to share my feelings. I have always said that I have Inter in my heart: I know I will return to Inter, I really hope so.
“I am in love with Italy, this is the right moment to talk and let people know what really happened.
“I really hope from bottom of my heart to return to Inter not at the end of my career, but when I'm still at top level to win more together".
“I want apologize to the Inter fan, the timing of my words was wrong: what you did for me will remain forever.”
Lukaku also claimed his move to Chelsea has been a mistake as well as that he wants to return to Inter while still in his prime.
Despite a fast start to life back at Stamford Bridge, the striker has now admitted that he is ‘not happy with the situation at Chelsea’ as he blasted Tuchel’s tactics.
Lukaku has scored five goals in eight Premier League starts for the Blues this term.
That includes a strike against Brighton last night as his team were held to a 1-1 draw to lose ground in the title race to Man City.
But Lukaku's impact has been limited by injuries and coronavirus over recent months.
And Chelsea boss Tuchel has frequently left him out of the starting XI even when he has been fit on several occasions.
In the interview, believed to have been conducted three weeks ago, Lukaku added: “Physically I am fine. But I'm not happy with the situation at Chelsea.
