Leaving Inter Milan for Chelsea a mistake – Lukaku confesses

Chelsea striker and Belgium international Romelu Lukaku in a statement has confessed that joining the Blues from Inter Milan was a mistake.

Lukaku left Stamford Bridge on loan this summer after he struggled to impress last season.

He has now returned to Inter Milan, where he hopes to continue with the top form he was known for.

Speaking during an event to present the new Inter jerseys for the 2022-23 campaign, Lukaku said the biggest challenge of his career will be this season in Italy.

“I left. It was a mistake, right Nico?” he giggled with teammate Nicolò Barella.

“Now I am happy to be wearing this jersey, the team knows what we need to do, it’ll be a great challenge this season and we need to continue like this.

“I realised last season when I was in England, just how important Inter are in the world. The club’s profile is improving on an international scale, the social media approach is really important too and you can see how we act in the locker room, in training, our hugs and jokes.

“Milan is a wonderful city and that is why I kept the old apartment when I went to London because my mother was coming here all the time and I wanted to return too.”
