Fans ask Juventus not to recruit Lukaku
Dozens of Juventus fans stood close to the fence outside the club's headquarters on July 17, chanting: "We don't want Lukaku to come here".
This scene was recorded and spread quickly on social networks.
Last week, there were rumors that Juventus wanted to sign Lukaku. "The old lady" considered exchanging Dusan Vlahovic for the Belgian striker with a sum of money. Chelsea seem interested in this option, because they are looking for a new striker and want to part with Lukaku.
Chelsea loaned Lukaku to Inter last season. The 30-year-old striker scored 14 goals in all competitions but could not replicate the peak form that helped Inter win the scudetto two years ago. Due to not being in the plans of new coach Mauricio Pochettino, Lukaku is likely to leave Stamford Bridge this summer.
Inter is the most potential destination for Lukaku. However, the home team Giuseppe Meazza faltered when Chelsea demanded $52 million. Therefore, the striker born in 1993 is said to have secretly negotiated with Juventus. According to transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, Inter are very disappointed to hear this news. Lukaku also behaved confusingly when he did not reply to messages from former teammates or coach Simone Inzaghi.
Sharing with La Gazzetta dello Sport, former Juventus midfielder Massimo Mauro also said that the old team should not recruit Lukaku. He said: "In my opinion, Lukaku cannot rekindle the joy and confidence of the fans for Juventus but vice versa. If he is healthy and lucky, he can score 35 goals a season. On the contrary, Lukaku can I missed out on simple opportunities like last season's Champions League final and became a scapegoat I may be outdated but I won't bring in players like Lukaku, he even said he would never play for the shirt. Juventus".
Lukaku once made 171 Juventus fans banned from the field due to racism against him in the Italian Cup semi-final in April. After successfully making the penalty to equalize 1-1 for Inter, Lukaku ate it. Happy to provoke Juventus fans and get a second yellow card. Inter then appealed, helping Lukaku not be suspended.
