According to Tasnim news agency, one of the most controversial subjects of this summer’s transfer market has undoubtedly been Romelu Lukaku. The Belgian striker first entered into negotiations with Inter and after two weeks gave the team the green light to sign a permanent contract, but in a sudden turn he refused to answer the call of the club managers to finalize the agreements and entered into negotiations with Juventus. Although Juventus want Lukaku, they are waiting for the assignment of their Serbian striker, Dusan Vlahovic, who has clients such as Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid. At the same time, Al-Hilal Club of Saudi Arabia wants to buy Lukakus and is willing to pay 10 million more than Juventus, i.e. 50 million euros. That’s why Chelsea prefers his player to go to Saudi Arabia, but he doesn’t want to leave European football. Therefore, the London team agrees with his player going to Juventus, but the old lady cannot buy him for now.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the 30-year-old Lukaku’s vicious cycle has fed up Chelsea’s managers, and they have warned his managers about their procrastination in clarifying the future of the Belgian national team striker in the Blues. This player is currently training individually at the Cobham training ground in London and has not traveled to the pre-season camp in America with other Chelsea players.
Lukaku has recently tried to reconcile with Interi and win their hearts, but the Italian club have ignored him and focused on signing Alvaro Morata or Folarin Balogun.
Tuttosport Turin announced last week that Sebastian Ledore, Lukaku’s lawyer, will accept Al-Hilal’s offer, but the prediction of this wrong media turned out to be wrong. After that, Corriere Delvesport reported that Juventus is ready to present its offer regardless of the future of Dusan Vlahovic and claimed that this club and the Belgian player have reached an agreement. At the same time, the Bianconeri do not have much maneuvering power in the transfer window due to the financial restrictions caused by not getting the quota for the European Champions League.
Lukaku’s stay at Chelsea will cost him more than anything, as the new head coach of the London Blues, Mauricio Pochettino, has no room for him in his tactical plans.
