Chelsea Striker Lukaku Speaks On Joining Juventus

Lukaku is looking to leave Chelsea on a permanent basis this summer transfer window.

The Belgian spent last season on loan at Inter Milan.

Lukaku’s initial preference was to remain at Inter Milan, but the Serie A giants were reluctant to meet Chelsea’s £40 million asking price for the player.

As a result, Juventus entered talks to sign Lukaku this summer.

But Juventus supporters staged a protest over the club’s push to sign Lukaku, and the former Manchester United star has now appeared to suggest that a move to the Old Lady is now off.

“I don’t think the deal will go through,” Lukaku was captured saying in a video when asked about a possible move to Juventus by an Inter Milan fan.

The video has gone viral on social media.

Lukaku’s current contract with Chelsea will expire in 2026.

The 30-year-old was left out of Chelsea’s pre-season tour a few days ago.
