La Gazzetta dello Sport claims that Romelu Lukaku tried to ask Inter and his former teammates for a pardon after their decision to shift focus to other goals.
The 30-year-old Belgian striker has dominated the headlines recently after it emerged that he had been secretly negotiating with Juventus as the Nerazzurri tried to reach a deal with Chelsea.
Inter were furious about Lukaku’s secret talks with their bitter rivals, so they decided to give up their efforts to sign him. Juventus cannot finalize a deal for the striker until they sell Dusan Vlahovic, leaving the 30-year-old in limbo.
Pages two and three of today’s Gazzetta detail how Lukaku recently contacted Inter and his former teammates to apologize for his talks with Juventus and ask for forgiveness.
His efforts were in vain, however, as everyone from club management to the dressing room was angry and disappointed with the 30-year-old’s behavior and did not want him to return.
President Steven Zhang shares this position and has closed the idea of a possible return of the Belgian striker.
Lukaku’s mother, Adolphine, also played a role in the striker’s recent woes. She, as well as lawyer Sebastien Ledure, pushed the 30-year-old to consider other clubs due to various factors including Simone Inzaghi’s decisions and the player’s substitute appearances in the Champions League.
