Lukaku to fan: ‘I don’t think Juventus deal will happen’

An Inter fan implored Romelu Lukaku not to say ‘forza Juve’ should he make the move to Turin, but the Chelsea striker suggested that a deal is unlikely to happen.

It’s not been a quiet summer for the 30-year-old Belgian striker, who hit the headlines earlier this month after it emerged that he’d been in talks with the Old Lady for a number of months, despite Inter’s focused work to try and sign him from Chelsea this summer.

The move, seen as a betrayal in Nerazzurri circles, saw Inter focus on other targets, leaving just Juventus and clubs in Saudi Arabia interested in picking up Lukaku. TikTok user Maurochiffi1908 captured an interaction between Lukaku and an Inter fan in Belgium, who asked the striker not to say ‘forza Juve’ should he ultimately join Juventus this summer.

Laughing, the 30-year-old replied no, never before adding I don’t think a deal will happen, suggesting that a move to Turin isn’t on the horizon for the Belgian striker.
