Chelsea leave Romelu Lukaku at home for another day. The Red Devil only has to score on Tuesday, when the rest of the core will already be in the US to prepare. After a failed move to Inter, Italian media wrote that Roc Nation could have parted ways with the ‘Big Rom’. This is not the case at the moment: Rock is looking for a solution for his future with lawyer Ledor and the family. Juventus is the priority.

Lukaku’s former club, Inter, decided this week to withdraw from the striker’s transfer file. There are no more negotiations. Lukaku camp has already been notified. At Inter, they blame him and his lawyer, Sebastien Ledor, especially for flirting with Juventus. They accuse Lukaku of disloyalty. Because he begged to be allowed to stay at Inter, but left his entourage behind to contact other clubs.
Sources within Inter whispered to reporters that Sebastien Ledor could not be reached. He stopped answering his phone. He broke away from Roc Nation and suddenly failed to fulfill his commitment to Inter. However, Chelsea and Inter needed his final blessing to strike a deal.
The Roc Nation didn’t quite like the turn of events, but the management agency tried to mediate on Saturday to get Lukaku and Inter back on the table. without result.
After all, the potential selection of Juventus would be a pity. Roc Nation bought another full page ad last season at Gazzetta dello Sport After Lukaku was subjected to racism during a match against Juventus. Then they also demanded an apology from Juventus.
In Italy and England, they have suggested that both parties will separate, but this is not yet the case. A final fracture being contradicted today. Roc Nation says it is currently working with Ledure and the family to come up with a solution.
Lukaku will return to Chelsea on Tuesday anyway, although it seems unrealistic for the ‘Big Rom’ to stay there. The Blues did not take him on their US tour. They want to sell our compatriot as soon as possible. However, he is allowed to train there: only after the first team leaves for the United States.
Juventus remains a solid option. Coach Massimo Allegri urged his club management once again with Lukaku earlier this week. Manager Cristiano Giuntoli went to London on Wednesday to check on Chelsea. Lukaku himself also courted the “old lady” and the attacker did not lock the door. The ‘Big Rom’ knows he can earn a total of €12.5m a year at Juventus.
In any case, Juventus asked Lukaku to wait for his decision. The club must first find a solution for Dusan Vlahović. Until the Serb’s departure, Juventus will not have the financial clout to do anything. Nor was Al Hilal Saudi Arabia completely out of the race.
Lukaku has always indicated that he only wants to return to Inter. Not elsewhere. But his past speaks against him. In 2017, on the day Everton were set to announce a five-year contract extension, he said emphatically that he would not sign.
In the same year, he already wanted to go to Chelsea, but chose Manchester United as a last resort. Two years ago he said he wanted to stay with Inter first. To then move to Chelsea at the last minute for €113m due to unfinished business. It is not always easy to understand the ways of the “big rum”.
