Lukaku on why he failed to impress at Chelsea

Former Chelsea striker, Romelu Lukaku, who returned to Inter Milan on loan in a recent statement has opened up on why he suggested during his time at Stamford Bridge last season.

Lukaku claimed the reason he flipped was that he wanted to take ‘revenge’ on the west London club.

The Belgian striker who returned to Chelsea on a club-record deal worth £97.5 million, has gone back to Inter Milan on a one-year loan deal, where he scored 64 goals in his two-season stint with Inter, winning the 2020-2021 Serie A title.

Speaking to DAZN (via Football Italia), Lukaku: “I think before, when I left [Chelsea], I wanted to take revenge at Chelsea because when I was young, it was my team for eleven years. I had the opportunity to go back there and thought I would be a hero, but that was not the case. In March, when I heard there was an opportunity to come back here [Inter], I slowly didn’t say anything, but towards the end of the season, we did a very good job with the club. and I was able to come back here.”

Lukaku added: “I make reflections only at the end of the season. I saw that as a player with Inter, I did well; the season at Chelsea for me was difficult. I had no doubts; that is why I made the decision to come back here.”
