The Gazetta dello Sport in Italy is basically building its summer out of Romelu Lukaku.
It’s been known for a long time that he wants to leave Chelsea, and that he wants to return to Inter Milan. That’s been the basis of months of negotiations, which continue even today.
The Gazzetta’s latest story claims that Lukaku’s lawyer Sebastian Ledure (the striker operates without an agent) has had phone calls with Chelsea today telling them that their €40m asking price – already reduced from the €45m they were asking in June – is too much and too inflexible for Inter.
That’s fair enough – under normal circumstances the Blues could walk away and find a new buyer. But Lukaku only wants an Inter move, and this story adds that he will stand “shoulder to shoulder” with the club against Chelsea’s demands.
The Blues are doing their best – they’ve extended Lukaku’s holiday for another week to ensure he doesn’t have to turn up at preseason for another year. But their patience may have limits.
Lukaku is bad news. What a mistake. He has let Chelsea and himself down. He is just a huge lump. But we unfortunately paid 90 million for him. Inter Milan should buy him back for 45 million.
I will rather suggest Chelsea relegate him to the U23s to teach him a lesson.
Let them keep talking. First Chelsea paid a lot for him. Only for him to return to inter and laugh at us. Now who is laughing now. He is lucky he is getting an undeserved wages.if he wants to stay at inter. They must pay the little chelsea is asking . Nothing less. If they cant afford that. He should rot in the Chelsea reserves. Out of order.
I wrote when Chelsea were making dt error of buying Lukaku back from Inter & no body listen at dt time. Now Inter& Lukaku wants to cheat on d club by dictating d dance of d drum-bit. No way, it is their turn to pay what we ask from d &98m dy collect from us.. else!!!
