The Inter Milan Manager’s Controversial Comments on Romelu Lukaku’s Departure

An Inter Milan manager addressed a small tackle to Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku, whom the Nerazzurri failed to keep in their squad.

Last summer, Inter Milan failed to permanently secure the services of Romelu Lukaku. Loaned by Chelsea to the Nerazzurri, during the 2022-2023 season, the Belgian striker failed to join the Lombardy club despite an agreement between the two parties. The deal ended up collapsing, since the Red Devil was then close to signing up with Juventus Turin.

Since this episode, the one who finally joined the ranks of José Mourinho’s AS Roma, through a twelve-month paying loan without purchase option, has broken the silence on his transfer window. The Antwerp native keeps the numerous speculations about his situation in his throat. In the interist camp, the departure of the ex-goleador of Manchester United is still not digested, as evidenced by the resounding exit of one of the main leaders of the Serie A juggernaut.

Seven goals this season

Questioned by the transalpine media on the sidelines of the Festival dello Sport, Guiseppe Marotta was asked to say which player he preferred between Mauro Icardi and Romelu Lukaku. The response from the sporting director of Inter Milan confirms the discomfort between the 2021 Italian champions and the thirty-year-old. “Lukaku or Icardi? Depending on how things develop, I would choose Mauro Icardi. Lukaku can of course say what he wants but we have always respected him… and money makes the difference in football.”

Scheduled for October 29 at Guiseppe Meazza, the reunion between Romelu Lukaku and his former employer promises to be stormy in advance. In the meantime, the Roman number 90 finds colors at La Louve. In all competitions, the man with 78 goals in 111 caps for Belgium has already scored 7 goals in 8 matches, including 5 goals in 6 Serie A matches.
