Italian champions Inter Milan are in agreement with Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku over his future amid speculation of a move.
The Belgian striker became the most expensive player in Chelsea's history when they spent £97million to secure his signature from the Italian champions last summer.
The 28-year-old has found the net just 10 times in 28 appearances for the Blues this season in his second spell with the club, having originally left Stamford Bridge permanently in 2014.
Having gone on to have spells with Everton and Manchester United, it was in Italy with Inter which the striker truly found his top form with 64 goals across the space of two seasons.
As reported by Mirror Football, Lukaku has no intention of leaving Stamford Bridge at present and wants to stay and fight for his place at the Champions League holders.

The Belgian was widely recognised as the best player in Serie A last season where he spearheaded the Milanese club's first league title in 11 years.
Yet he has not replicated this success at the Blues and Saturday was a low point for the striker, as he had just seven touches across 90 minutes against Crystal Palace in the Premier League.
That was the lowest number of touches on the ball for a player in the Premier League since records began for a player who stayed on the pitch for the full match.
That led to the striker being benched for the Blues Champions League Round of 16 first leg tie against Lille at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night.
Despite things not going to plan at Chelsea so far, multiple reports in the Italian press state that Inter have no intention in making a move for the striker to return to the club.
As per Football Italia, reports from both Gazzetta and FCInter1908 claim that Inter are not considering making a move for the player.
That is primarily due to the financial situation at the club, which despite winning last season’s league title and playing in the Champions League this season has not notably improved to the point where they can invest heavily in their playing squad.
Thierry Henry, who formerly coached Lukaku at the Belgian national side, expressed his surprise at why Chelsea had moved for the striker last summer.
Henry, working as a pundit for CBS, said: “Chelsea like to press; to be active and to change the front three.
"Lukaku likes to stay in the middle so it makes it very difficult for him to adapt to the situation.
"But, again, why did you go and get him?”
There will now be serious doubts as to whether Chelsea’s club-record signing will be a regular in the line-up for the closing months of the campaign.
