Chelsea have made a stunning offer to match Manchester United’s bid for Romelu Lukaku in a bid to wrestle him back to Stamford Bridge.
But Chelsea will not match the agent fees Mino Raiola will get from Lukaku moving to United, leaving the striker with a tough decision to make.
Lukaku must now decide whether to go ahead with the £75million move to United that had been set up by Raiola or effectively go against his agent to re-join Chelsea.
It is understood that Chelsea still believe Lukaku would rather re-sign for them and, therefore, feel the player must make a decision based on either sporting reasons or on how much money Raiola will pocket.
Chelsea are now waiting to find out whether or not Lukaku is prepared to demand to return to the Blues or go ahead with a planned United medical tonight and complete a move to Old Trafford.
United are still confident of completing a deal for Lukaku in time for him to join up with the squad on the US tour on Sunday.
