Shocking, Inter CEO made this confession about Rumelu Lukaku and surprised

Chelsea former player Romelu Lukaku would not be one of the most beloved players neither in the Premier League nor the Serie A of Italy, and this was clear when in the last few hours the Inter Milan CEO Giuseppe Marotta snubbed the Belgian 30-year-old player when he was asked for him in an event.

In this sense, according to the Italian journalist and transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, Marotta was asked whether his preferred striker at Inter Milan had been Romelu Lukaku or Mauro Icardi, and the Italian dirigent did not have any doubt on snubbing the Belgian striker, who was about to sign for the Italian side in the summer, but his paralele negotiations with Juventus frustrated the Inter fans and dirigeants, labeling him as a traitor.

In this respect, Marotta was clear about Lukaku, who played for Inter from 2021 to 2023. “Lukaku or Icardi? Based on how things have developed, I’d pick Mauro Icardi. Lukaku can say whatever he wants of course but we always respected him… and then money makes the difference in football”, explained Marotta.

The player has started really well his season at AS Rome

Meanwhile, the start of the season for Romelu Lukaku has gone really well. It is worth remembering that he finally signed for AS Roma on a loan transfer from Chelsea, who still owns his sporting rights. In the team of the Italian capital Lukaku met Jose Mourinho, one of his favorite coaches in his career, and he has already scored seven goals in eight games with the Roman side, proving his quality as one of the best scorers nowadays.
