Romelu Lukaku made his long-awaited return to San Siro as a Roma player.
The Lukaku Transfer Saga was one of the major highlights of the transfer window. Inter were ready to bring Lukaku back to the club, but they backed off when they learned of his negotiations with Juventus.
Chelsea ended up loaning him to Roma, where he has endured an excellent start to his life under Mourinho. However, it was a hostile welcome, as he was welcomed with over 40,000 whistles in San Siro by Inter fans, who gave him no peace at all.
Speaking after the game, Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi said he wanted Lukaku to rejoin Inter Milan. “Everyone knows how strongly I wanted to re-sign Lukaku last summer.” “I wanted him back; we tried, but then Romelu decided to join another club—that’s life”. Unhappy with being benched in the UCL final? I make my best choices for Inter.” He said.
