Inter Milan has reportedly withdrawn from the race to secure the services of star striker Romelu Lukaku.
According to the latest reports from Sky Sport, the Nerazzurri are set to inform Chelsea, Lukaku’s current club, about their decision. The move comes as a result of Lukaku’s apparent interest in negotiating with Italian giants Juventus.
The Belgian international, who played a pivotal role in Inter Milan’s triumphant Serie A campaign last season, seems to have set his sights on a potential transfer to Juventus.
It is believed that Lukaku initiated a late-night phone call with Piero Ausilio, Inter Milan’s sporting director, in an attempt to clarify the situation. However, their conversation was cut short, as Ausilio allegedly conveyed the club’s discontent with Lukaku’s actions.
This indicates a breakdown in the relationship between the player and the Inter Milan hierarchy. Sources suggest that Lukaku’s negotiations with Juventus have been ongoing for several weeks, with initial contact established even before the Champions League final.
