The Everton striker is a top target for Antonio Conte to bolster his frontline this summer.
And Lukaku is keen on a return to Stamford Bridge, having ruled out staying at Goodison Park.
But the two clubs are yet to reach an agreement over a fee, with Everton demanding as much as £100million.
Progress has been slow over a deal, although Lukaku is still wanted as a replacement for outgoing Diego Costa.
Yesterday, the Belgium international added fuel to the fire over a move to Chelsea after he posted a video on his Instagram account.
Everton star Romelu Lukaku is growing frustrated with the speculation surrounding his future
Hearing all this bull**** again… it’s just a 5aside game people
It showed the 24-year-old playing in a 5-a-side match and scoring twice, but most intriguingly, on a pitch surrounded by Chelsea badges.
The venue covered in the Blues’ brand had many suggesting Lukaku was dropping hints over his future.
However, the Everton star has played down the meaning behind it.
Lukaku tweeted: “Shaking my head… hearing all this bull**** again… it’s just a 5-a-side game people!
Smh... hearing all this BS again.. its just a 5 a side game people! Some of you need to chill ??????✌??????

Along with a laughing emoji and peace sign, he added: “Some of you need to chill”.
Chelsea fans will have to wait a little while longer to see if Conte secures his man.
The Italian has wanted to sign Lukaku since last summer.
While Antonio Conte has been left frustrated so far by the club’s lack of activity, they are edging closer to adding the likes of Timeoue Bakayoko and Willy Caballero.
