Chelsea rejects Juventus loan bid for Romelu Lukaku
Chelsea has reportedly rejected Juventus' loan offer for Romelu Lukaku but are open to a permanent deal.
Lukaku's Inter Milan betrayal
Inter had been pushing to re-sign Lukaku permanently until it became evident that he was holding transfer talks with arch-rivals Juventus behind the club’s back.
At this point, the Nerazzurri cut off contact with the No.9, with fans livid at the behaviour of the 30-year-old.
Now sporting director Javier Zanetti has moved to admonish the striker in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport.
“Lukaku has betrayed us. We’re very disappointed,” he frankly admitted.
“We expected completely different behaviour by Romelu, as professional but also as a man.”
Inter have now moved on from Lukaku and are exploring deals for Arsenal's Folarin Balogun and Porto striker Mehdi Taremi, who has also been linked with a move to Manchester United.
