Romelu Lukaku once rebelled to leave but in this second rebellion, he was in a difficult position.
Romelu Lukaku can be sent to Saudi Arabia
New Chelsea coach Mauricio Pochettino sends a very clear message to Romelu Lukaku before Chelsea gathers to prepare for the new season. Pochettino said that if he wanted to be a Chelsea player, Lukaku had to be there at the right time. The Belgian striker disobeyed the orders of the Argentine coach and immediately received a notice that was not in Chelsea's preparation plan for the 2023-2024 season.
Lukaku actively did not comply with Chelsea's regulations because he wanted to transfer. He was successful in 2019 when he did not focus before the new season with Manchester United and eventually moved to Inter Milan. However, this time it was much more difficult for two important reasons. It's transfer value and loyalty.
Chelsea offered 45 million euros for Lukaku to leave Stamford Bridge. Coach Simone Inzaghi was very interested in the 30-year-old striker but only stopped at 35 million euros with a bonus of 5 million euros and was rejected by Chelsea.
Realizing that Inter Milan was too slow in promoting the transfer, Lukaku cut contact with his teammates to connect with Juventus. Remember, just last April, Lukaku announced he would never play for Juventus because he was racist by this team's fans. The Juventus side offered Chelsea 4 million euros with a bonus of 37,5 million, but until August 2,5 to decide whether to buy or not, because that was the time when Juventus closed the sale of striker Dusan Vlahovic.
Gazzetta reports that Lukaku has contacted again… Inter Milan to promote the transfer. Coach Inzaghi wants to have Lukaku in the training trip in Japan but the possibility is very low. Many Inter Milan fans strongly objected to the team's determination to have Lukaku, because they thought he was a traitor and unreliable. If joining Juventus, Lukaku is also very difficult to conquer Turin fans. On Monday, many people gathered in front of the Juventus medical center to express their views and ask the team not to buy Lukaku. That said, Lukaku is facing an extremely difficult summer. The best solution for him at the moment is to move to Saudi Arabia, but he insists on staying in Europe next season.
