Romelu Lukaku, €50 million offer from Al Hilal

The Chelsea striker, who was loaned to Inter Milan last season, visited Saudi Arabia on Monday, where he met with Al Hilal officials, Goal.com reports.

The Saudi club offered Lukaku a contract for two seasons for a total of 50 million euros.

He is set to return to Chelsea after a loan spell at Inter and new London manager Mauricio Pochettino could give him another chance at Stamford Bridge.

However, the 30-year-old appears to have been tempted by a move to Al Hilal, but is keen to get as big a salary as possible to leave European football.

The Saudis will enter into negotiations with Chelsea for the Belgian striker, for the transfer of which they are asking about 50 million euros, which is considered too high.

Although he would like to stay at Inter following their Champions League final defeat to Manchester City, the Italians have not announced their willingness to extend his loan.
