Romelu Lukaku did not leave only good memories at Inter. On the contrary, after the beginning of a love affair, the relationship ended with loss and crash. The fault of the Belgian striker, who did not wish to extend his adventure with the Nerazzurri while he was still on loan from Chelsea. The fault lies in a relationship of trust which deteriorated with Simone Inzaghi before the Champions League final lost against Manchester City. Having become a substitute over the course of the matches, the Belgian preferred to go elsewhere, even if it meant negotiating directly on several fronts: Inter but also AC Milan and Juventus. This version of the facts is confirmed by the Gazzetta dello Sport in its Friday edition. Since then, the striker has not gone to any of the destinations mentioned, but to Roma who wanted him. And that’s good because La Louve is traveling to Inter’s pitch in two weeks (Sunday October 29). The reception promises to be frosty for the former home scorer, but that does not seem to bother Bepp Marotta, the sporting director of the Lombards.
“He is free to say what he wants but I don’t understand certain things. Did the Istanbul match (the C1 final, editor’s note) influence what happened next? I do not believe. He rejected our offer and after many years, a great relationship of trust had been established towards him. No one has ever disrespected him, I don’t see what could create controversy and we don’t want to get caught. I heard about the initiative for Inter-Roma, it’s a situation that needs to be managed. We have to live the game, that’s where we have to concentrate our strengths. It could distract the players where it is important to encourage them. The supporter can still protest, he is free to do so because he pays the ticket”retorted the Italian leader during the Sports Festival.
