The Belgian striker once again showed his true face by turning his back on the Nerazzurri, who have the right to feel betrayed
Romelu Lukaku has always shown a great sense of humor when it comes to talking about his attachment to Inter. “I hope to stay at Inter, Inter is everything to me,” he said when asked by Sky Italia about Chelsea’s possible permanent return to San Siro in January.
Inter general manager Beppe Marotta certainly believed the striker’s words and did his best to facilitate his long-term stay. “Romelu likes the shirt he is wearing, he is very comfortable at Inter. These are fundamental aspects, this desire he has to be with us,” Marotta told Radio Rai at the end. of last season.
But history shows that Lukaku simply cannot be trusted. Over the course of his career, he’s made a habit of making surprising U-turns, not caring about the collateral damage he leaves in his wake.
The 30-year-old’s latest unfortunate decision is perhaps the most important of all, as he reportedly decided to join arch-rivals Juventus Inter. The Bianconeri matched Inter’s €40m (£34m/$45m) offer to Chelsea, and Lukaku has since cut ties with the club’s San Siro bosses.
Juve will have to get rid of Dusan Vlahovic first before they can finalize a deal for Lukaku, but it’s clear that the Allianz Stadium is now the Belgium international’s preferred destination. And naturally, Inter are furious
After a brief, and probably explosive, phone call between Inter manager Piero Ausilio and Lukaku last Friday, the 2022-23 Champions League runners-up have pulled out of Inter’s offer.
