Romelu Lukaku Transfer: Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku is heavily linked with Juventus and fans couldn’t digest this move. It was a big surprise when fans started protesting on the field. It shows massive hate for the Belgian international. The former Inter striker is back at Stamford Bridge and looking to find a new club.
The Old Lady’s training match against Juventus Next Gen was interrupted yesterday by a pitch invasion. Fans came out in large numbers to show protest against the possible move for Romelu Lukaku.

Chelsea and Juventus are in discussion for Lukaku. As per the fresh reports, Dusan Vlahovic is heading to Stamford Bridge and Lukaku will be back in Serie A. The Blues admire Vlahovic and they consider him an ideal option in the forward position. Meanwhile, they have to meet the demand from the Italian club which is an extra £35m as part of the deal.
Romelu Lukaku was looking to make a permanent move to Inter after a decent outing on loan last season. However, this deal collapsed after the negotiation between Chelsea and the Champions League runner-ups. There were some reports that Juventus had a talk with the Chelsea striker. Lukaku was keen to play for Inter only when it comes to Serie.
Lukaku’s possible transfer to Juventus is not acceptable to fans. We have hardly seen such outrage for any player before the move. Many of the fans were heard screaming “No, we don’t want Lukaku” during Wednesday’s friendly. These chants began in the stands during the first minute of the game.

Meanwhile, this friendly game took the place of the annual Villar Perosa friendly. Fans got a chance to meet players and a large number of supporters grabbed this opportunity to show their protest on the Belgian striker.
Lukaku has earlier rejected an approach from Saudi Arabia earlier. With the current scenario, his transfer to any club looks slightly not possible. Inter vice-president Javier Zanetti spoke to La Gazzetta dello Sport and talked on the player, “Given what Inter has done for him, we expected him to behave differently, as a professional and as a man. He has the right to go where he wants, of course, but he could have told us that beforehand. “
The move still depends on Chelsea’s plan for Valhovic. The Blues are no longer entertaining the idea of a swap deal between Lukaku and Vlahovic. They are not ready to meet the demand set by the Serie A club. However, the West London club is open to getting the right bid for Lukaku because they are not fine to give him one more season at Stamford Bridge.
