Thierry Henry has told CBS Sports that Romelu Lukaku wants to stay at Inter Milan.
Lukaku scored the winning goal tonight in Inter’s 1-0 Champions League win over Porto. Lukaku had been rumoured to be leaving Inter after a lacklustre loan spell since leaving Chelsea last summer.
Chelsea and Inter Milan are thought to share good relations and it seems that there will be little chance of Lukaku featuring under Graham Potter next season.
Henry, who worked with Lukaku in the World cup as the assistant manager of Belgium, revealed that Lukaku wants to stay: “Rom likes to stay where he is. Feed him, play him in early and he’ll try to bully you. He was a different type of man to what Tuchel wanted. Is he going to fit what Potter’s trying to do? And what does he want to do? I don’t think he wants to go back. He wants to stay at Inter.”
Henry revealed that he told Romelu that he would struggle at Chelsea when he re signed for a whopping 97.5 million pounds due to the way Thomas Tuchel’s teams play.
Lukaku netted 8 league goals last season under Thomas Tuchel, his time was dominated by off the pitch drama with a famous interview with Sky Italia broadcasted detailing how he missed Inter Milan just days before Chelsea were set to face Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.
