MILAN: Romelu Lukaku is set for possibly the most hostile reception of his career when he returns to the San Siro to face Serie A leaders Inter Milan ...
Romelu Lukaku celebrates after scoring the team’s second goal during the UEFA Europa League Group G day 3 football match between AS Roma and Slavia Prague at the Olympic stadium on October 26, 2023 in Rome. AFPPIX: Romelu Lukaku is set for possibly the most hostile reception of his career when he returns to the San Siro to face Serie A leaders Inter Milan on a bumper Sunday in which champions Napoli host AC Milan.
The Belgium striker was once an idol, winning Serie A in 2021 before being sold to Chelsea that summer for well over 100 million euros, as a club weighed down by debts tried desperately to get their accounts in order. However just as Inter were closing in on a deal with Chelsea, Lukaku vanished, not answering calls and even making noises towards Milan and Juventus, Inter fans' fiercest rivals.
Lukaku too is having a positive start to life in Rome after being welcomed to the capital by thousands of fans in August and being reunited with his former coach at Manchester United, Jose Mourinho. Mourinho could not resist goading Inter fans on Wednesday, telling reporters that “I didn’t know he was so important to them”.
