According to the Tasnim news agency, Corriere Delvesport reported that Romelu Lukaku did not attend the training of the Chelsea football team and his plan not to accompany the team on the pre-season tour in America.
Until two weeks ago, everything seemed to be smooth for Lukaku to stay at Inter and finalize his loan contract, but in an unexpected turn, after the player and his lawyer refused to answer the phone calls of the club’s sports director, the scenario changed completely and it was announced that The Belgian striker has entered into negotiations with Juventus. In this way, Inter completely abandoned the purchase of Lukaku, and with the start of Chelsea’s pre-season training, the player was obliged to attend the team’s training, which, of course, has not yet happened.
According to Lukaku’s negotiations with Inter, Chelsea club exempted him from participating in the training in the first days, but the former star of Manchester United should have introduced himself to the head coach of the team yesterday (Monday), which he did not do. But the story is not going to end here and the player does not want to accompany the team on the trip to America for the pre-season camp. In the meantime, of course, Athletic magazine announced Lukaku’s arrival in London and wrote that he is ready to return to training.
According to the report of Corriere dello Sport reporter Gabriele Marcotti, Lukaku’s behavior has increased the tension between him and the Chelsea managers. The client’s player is cashing in on the likes of Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal, who have offered Chelsea 58 million euros – a figure even higher than what the club initially wanted – and have also offered him a salary of 30 million per year, but it seems that the 31-year-old striker does not intend to Leave European football.
Meanwhile, Juventus has not yet made an official move to recruit Lukaku, because the club must first sell its Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic, and the story of the transfer of this 23-year-old player to the most likely destination, Paris Saint-Germain, still has an uncertain ending.
At the same time, the fans of Duatse Inter, who are known as “Kurvanord” issued a statement today (Tuesday) strongly attacked Lukaku and called him a traitor and a bastard.
