Romelu Lukaku is willing to take a pay cut to secure a permanent move to Inter Milan from Chelsea.
Lukaku would take a hit of close to £1m a year such is his desire to remain in Italy, where he spent last season on loan at Inter.
Inter are hoping to put together an offer worth £35m.
It’s thought they need money from potential sales to fund a move and remain in talks with Manchester United over the transfer of keeper Andre Onana.
Chelsea have not received a satisfactory solution from Inter and talks are ongoing to find an agreement.
Lukaku has had interest from Saudi Arabia side AlHilal and Juventus have held talks with Chelsea over a deal.
On Friday Mauricio Pochettino said he would like to meet Lukaku for talks in London if he is still a Chelsea player by then.
