“One day Lukaku will return to Serie A. He loves Italy, but it is currently up to Chelsea to take advantage of his qualities…”This is what Romelu Lukaku’s manager said a few weeks ago, and it was probably not clear to the fans of the club from London where such statements came from. However, it turns out that Federico Pastorello also knew what he was saying and why he was saying it. Because the Italian Sky announced a big interview with Lukaku, and from the introductory few quotes, you can guess that the Belgian is not completely satisfied at Stamford Bridge.##EDITORS_CHOICE##And that’s not all. The special of the Italian TV network is called “Inter, forgive me if I call you Love”, it contains open apologies to Nerazzurri fans for the way he left the club, which can even be understood as a kind of remorse for what happened in August. And there will probably be those who will characterize all that as an open flirt with an “old love”, or preparation of the ground for some next transfer period.Journalist Matteo Barzaghi spoke face to face with Lukaku at his home in London. The conversation starts in a really interesting way…- Romelu, do you swear to tell the truth, only the truth and nothing but the truth? Barzaghi asked.- I swear, I swear with my hand on my heart.Champions League trophy does not guarantee profit – Chelsea are 200 million USD underImmediately afterward, Lukaku started apologizing, addressing the Italian journalist directly along the way …”First of all, I want to say that the way I left had to be different. That’s why I apologize to Inter fans. Also, I should have talked to you (Barzaghi) first, because the things you did for me, for my family, for my mother, for my son – those are things to remember. I really hope in my heart that I will return to Inter. But not at the end of my career, but while I am at my peak, while I can play at a top level.”It has been only six months since the last transfer window, but the Belgian admits that he feels as if a lifetime has passed.”I don’t think what happened should have happened that way. How I left the club, how I communicated with the fans … It bothers me. Maybe now is the right time to talk about all this. I have always said that I carry Inter in my heart. And I really believe that I will return … I am in love with Italy. People need to know what really happened and that I should not talk bad about people, because I am not like that.”Lukaku: “Amo l’#Inter, tornerò”➖Domani, 31 dicembre, alle 13.30, alle 17 e alle 19.30 su Sky Sport 24 l’intervista esclusiva all’ex Inter realizzata da @MatteoBarzaghi.

He scored seven goals in 18 games. There was an injury then there was a break due to Covid, but there is also something about manager Thomas Tuchel. And the Belgian does not shy away from saying it.”How am I now? Good. Physically even better than before. After two years in Italy where I worked a lot with fitness coaches and nutritionists, I feel very good physically. But I’m not happy with the situation at the club. I think the coach chose to play with a different system. I must not give up. I have to act and work like a professional. I say, I am not satisfied, but I am a worker and I must not allow myself to give up,” Lukaku underlined, tickling the imagination of Chelsea and Inter fans.Sun, 19.30: (3.00) CHELSEA (3.30) LIVERPOOL (2.55)It will be interesting to see the full interview. Just as it will be interesting when the media ask Tuchel to comment on everything Lukaku said.
