Lukaku is about to break the world record for upsetting the most fanbases.

Lukaku thought that he could move like R9 but he forgot you have to make an impact on the club to do that 😭

He is undoubtedly one of the biggest mercenary in football. I can guarantee he kiss the badge of Juve and tells the media that Juve has always felt like home to him, shameless.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen such an obvious lack of sincerity from a player. The Chelsea interview shocked me.

i’ve never wished a player to fail until lukaku did that interview. after that i wouldn’t even be mad if chelsea just send him to play with the reserves until his contract expires

Lukaku genuinely is a reliability merchant and a bounty mercenary, man goes where the money goes but can't seem to perform when the team needed him the most

Every top club he has played for disliked him. Chelsea hate him, Man United hate him, Inter Milan hate him. West Brom and Everton are the only clubs he has played for that he left without any drama, at least to my knowledge. That shows his level.

I’m just ready for Juventus to announce the Lukaku deal he will kiss the badge 😂

His first stint at Inter Milan, Romelu Lukaku was in the best form of his career, the guy couldn't stop scoring goals and he was unstoppable and was critical to Inter Milan winning Serie A in 2021 and he was the MVP in the league that season following his impressive goalscoring form and top class performances throughout the season forming a formidable partnership with Lautaro Martinez in attack, at the time he was in his absolute peak. Inter Milan were in a bit of a difficult situation financially as it led to Antonio Conte departing the club and the player Chelsea were linked with a return for him and he had unfinished business there and decided to go back to Chelsea for around 98 million and big things were expected of him there as he was gonna take their team that just won the champions league to a whole new level. His return to Chelsea quickly became a nightmare as he failed to produce his best form, failed to get on with Thomas Tuchel, lost his place and he did a controversial interview explaining his situation at Chelsea, how he wasn't happy at the club and the system which they played and even said that he was happier at Inter Milan and his heart was still there. The next game, that interview caused him to be left out of the squad and the message that Thomas Tuchel was sending to Romelu Lukaku is "no player is bigger than the club". He was badly out of form and there was a game in which he only touched the ball 7 times in 90 minutes, so not only did he struggle to score goals and miss so many chances, he didn't make an impact on the pitch. Last season, he got his wish in returning to Inter Milan on loan and the hope for him was to get back to his best. Even there he missed part of the season with injury and he wasn't playing particularly well even when fit and a 37 year old Edin Dzeko was starting over him for majority of the season. Towards the end of the season, Romelu Lukaku may have found some form, but overall his loan spell back at Inter Milan wasn't great and in the champions league, their run to the final he didn't start a single game and he was benched in the champions league final as well. When healthy, he wasn't scoring goals, still inconsistent and not always producing on the field, even the Inter president said that he was overweight which is a constant issue that'll affect a players' fitness and performance it shouldn't be surprised that he faced some time on the sidelines and whenever he played he was far from top form and he was supposed to be happy back at Inter Milan. He's a Chelsea player again, he has no interest in playing for them next season, and we all thought that he would return to Inter Milan permanently but apparently he was flirting with a move to Juventus behind the scenes and they're not signing him this summer, and if a move there doesn't materialize then his only other choice in finding a new club is to join the Saudi Pro League and that could still happen for him. He still wants to play in a top 5 league in Europe, he is so so finished right now, and I just don't see the desire and confidence for him to really replicate his best form based on what we've seen from Romelu Lukaku over the last 18 months and if he doesn't go to Juventus he needs to go to Saudi as he won't get another lucrative contract from a top club in Europe ever again his best days are well and truly behind him and he knows that as well.

Remember when Lukaku was a young player at Chelsea. I was fascinated and hoping he would grow and become the clubs next Drogba although that's incredibly big shoes to fill. He really did have some incredible potential and we've all seen how good he can be at his best. Unfortunately i think the attitude and sometimes bizarre decision making and statements stopped him in his path. Such a shame

When the notification for this video came up on my phone and I saw "Betrayed" in the title something in my soul told me this video would be on Lukaku, I instantly clicked it and was not disappointed. 😅

It is not true that Inter sold Lukaku in 2021 due to financial problems. We had already sold Hakimi for that very same reason. We were okay. Then he came saying “I want to go to Chelsea, they’ll give me 12 millions per season, here 115 millions euros for you”. That’s not a sum you can say no to, not in Italy. We concluded that transfer window with +160M, we didn’t need that money. He also said that if we had offered him a new deal, he would have stayed. Basically confirming that it was all about the money. That’s because it was a betrayal. Hakimi left because we needed that money from Psg, we still love him, no betrayal by him.

Lukaku reminds me of ballotelli played amazing in Italy came to England played good at one club played bad at another

He’ll be remembered for this behavior rather than for the little good he did while playing

It’s unbelievable. We were literally the last fan base that loved him and supported him.

Never been a Lukaku fan, but even I felt bad for him after that ucl final. Almost seems like the man is cursed.

I've constantly argued with other Chelsea fans on Lukaku. He always makes me so upset watching how bad his first touch is. I want to sell him to Saudi league to recoup something and I can't wait to watch his bloopers from afar. It pains me how quickly Giroud left.

I want to give my 2 cents as an inter fan. I am disappointed, yes, but tbf i almost feel sorry for the guy. Part of the reason he is doing so well in italy is because the media has never put him under the same type of pressure that he got in the top teams of the PL. After the first few months, when conte was shielding him from critics, he had such great numbers in the first 2 seasons that both inter fans and the media were cuddling him even after the last season and poor finals performances. We italians had to learn to manage our expectations in the last decade after all. Well if he goes to juve next year he'll discover the darker side of italian football culture, and tbh i dont think he has the mental fortitude to do well in that case, but who knows i might be wrong. I am not really angry because to me it feels more like a panic move when it was time to decide the rest of his carreer rather than a cash grab but i dont really know the ins and out.

Why Inter Milan have decided not to bring back Romelu Lukaku makes a lot of sense right now because behind the scenes he was interested in joining Juventus and they and the fans see this as betrayal and now they don't want to sign him permanently. When he did that interview with Sky Italia in 2021 when he was at Chelsea, he said he had a lot of heart for Inter Milan and he really was desperate for a return and maybe something happened there, like being unhappy in not starting the champions league final that could play a factor into this whole messed up situation but then to be interested in going to a direct rival in Juventus, it's a big soap opera. After Chelsea paid the ridiculous amount of money to resign him, he's not part of their plans next season and now Inter Milan don't want to sign him on a permanent basis, the only way Juventus can sign Romelu Lukaku is if both Chelsea and Juve agree a swap deal between him and Dusan Vlahovic, but I don't think that's gonna happen and the only suitable option for him is a move to Saudi Arabia and now he's finding it very difficult to find a new club and I saw this coming months ago, he's at a crossroads in his football career when at 30, he should still be in his peak, so what led to all of this.

You covered this fairly and others posting comments were all 100% on point in their recollections of the events. As an Inter fan, I have no applaud Inter management for telling him they are done with him after the effort they put in to come to an agreement to bring him back. The Curva Nord’s statement nailed the sentiments of the Interisti. As for the player, I just shake my head. He was taught what was necessary to be a truly outstanding player and turned his back on those teachings. He got all the money one could reasonably ask for and that was not enough. He was gifted everything and more and turned his back on it. I truly hope he finds happiness but it’s clear he is broken in some way and can’t see the havoc he causes where ever he goes.

As an Inter fan i can recall this saga from its beginnings. Conte wanted Lukaku and at the same time Juve did too in the end cause Dybala wouldn't go to United, Inter got their man. Then fast forward 2 years and Inter's in it annual summer sales bind and think about seel someone and Lautaro was actually considered first but sufficient offers didn't arrive then that massive Chealsea iffer came and Lukaku left it was somewhat painful but understood cause of finances, then the crazy interview and then the return on loan which started off good but quickly turn to him being out injured the in the late part of the season he starts firing on all cylinders and it looks like hey Inter's going to make an effort to resign him on a permanent deal. But here is where i see there is still a small chance of redemption, if you follow most of the news articles Lukaku himself makes no direct comments on the negotiations he has his reps doing the work but at the same time his lawyer (trying to make a bigger commission) shops him around so when the deal with Chelsea is finally agreed on advice from his lawyer they go quiet that en the whole deal collapses. IMO if Lukaku fires his lawyer and makes a statement claiming he was never involved with those negotiations the move could possibly still happen but as he himself still continues to not speak yes the fans will ultimately believe he wanted to do all if it and he will be hated. And lastly going to Juve makes little sense for him Allegri plays very defensive so that wont help him and they aren't in UCL but in a way Inter dodge a big financial burder by not signing Lukaku but at this stage i think he'll go to Saudi Arabia

People already mentioned it but just to be sure: Inter didn't want to sell Lukaku in 2021, the plan for sure was Hakimi, Brozovic and Skriniar were considered (and they eventually left). Conte wasn't happy with the summer plans and the lack of investment and he forced his departure and when Conte left Lukaku wasn't conformtable and took Chelsea's offer. That offer improved Inter situation which helped to retain Skriniar (to lost him for free later on which was stupid) and Brozovic. He decided to go. Nobody forced him.

The worst part is when Inter met Juve this season in the Coppa Italia semifinals. I am sure that you all remember Juve fans chanting racists comments to Lukaku just a few months ago and Cuadrado and him receiving red cards after the fight that followed immediately after Lukaku celebrated against the Juve fans. After all of that Romelu, how can you go play for those same fans? Racism is something that we are trying to fight and stop at all costs in Italy and you just pretend like you don’t care. It’s the recipe for disaster if this move happens

13:20 Honestly, they went easy on him, considering how that knife is still stuck in their back as we speak. And I wholeheartedly agree with their statement. His behavior is unacceptable and so, so stupid. This whole fiasco is a guide on how to alienate people and eff up your career and the way people view it. It's so so disappointing, it hurts.

3:37 Actually, Hakimi was the only one Inter were supposed to sell; Romelu, once Conte left, decided to move to Chelsea by himself

Man, i've missed your contents so much. Just been binge watching for over an hour now and catching up on Football gossip. Excellent stuff man

A certified Lakaka moment

loving your videos adrain, hope the close of weekend recap helps you to focus on such videos still would love you knockout rounds of UCL!

underrated channel, great content, keep it up man!

I used to defend Lukaku tooth and nail against the slander. 'Lakaka', the jeans, the American accent. Then that Chelsea interview came out; and now i just sit back and laugh. He does it to himself

I hate it when players say “now is the right time to talk” mid season instead of waiting for the summer and being professional.

where can i find this podcast at spotify? i like listening whilst driving. all the best mate!

Great coverage as always 👊🏿

Love your Vids! Great work as always!

This guy though... Unbelievable. Even as a fan you're left just shaking your head... Best defensive striker-decision maker. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Great video 👍🏼👍🏼 not to excuse his behavior but I think it’s worth mentioning how his relationship with Tuchel deteriorated, was really what set this whole saga in motion

I was laughing my ass off when they signed him to save like 35 mill on Haaland like it was equivalent lol Even more now considering how it went and how much money they’ve wasted, both on lukaku and other players

What really pissed me off, even more than the disrespect for us supporters, is the disrespect towards our staff. They have basically wasted a month negotiating with Chelsea for nothing. Had he wanted to go elsewhere, it would've been fine, had he said so immediately. But to suddenly ghost everyone the moment the deal is done and all is left is your signature on the contract is an asshole move.

Lukaku is the walking definition of "shooting yourself in the foot", guy had it made and very lucky for Inter trying to make it work but he himself was his worst enemy

Yo. Letting Dusan go for an out of shape lukaku is crazy. Juve deserve to be where they are at now.

Great ball knowledge ❤

i love going to stadiums and seeing my favourite assests on display

cant wait for the tchouameni vid!

There's treating your current club as a job and there's kissing every single badge you play under and playing on the fans' emotions in every single interview. There's considering a move to another club and there're secret negotiations behind your club's back. Of course, no one will ever beat Mario Götze in 2013 (better known as the only player who lost his team a Champions League final without playing a single minute), but I think Lukaku comes pretty close in terms of terrible PR. But it didn't have to end this way. Zlatan for example also played for multiple clubs throughout his career, but he's loved and fondly remembered in every single one (even Barca fans are upset because of how his time there turned out). The difference being that on top of being just a lovable and funny character Ibra brought something good with him every time he changed clubs, was an outstanding player throughout his career and we'll probably never forget his insane plays. I've never seen him kissing any badge or expressing special feelings for any club other than AC Milan. Of course we'll never know how much of it was just PR, but the point stands, he rejoined Milan in time of need, promised to bring back the Scudetto and delivered, both on and off the pitch. That's why Milan fans love him. He also spent some of the most successful seasons of his playing for Inter, but I'm yet to find a single milanista who has a problem with that. And for all this talking about Ibra's "difficult character" the most drama he's ever caused was that one time when rumour started spreading about him having a romance with Pique. It's clear that Lukaku would like to be like Zlatan, but other than being an obviously inferior player he also lacks the understanding of the game, or likeable personality for that matter.

I always be thankful for him as a City fan

I remember watching him in the fa cup final, I’ve seen fridges with more mobility.

He's clearly a class striker, having scored 350+ career goals. But he seems ridiculous oblivious to the fact that football is not just a game of skill; it's a game of sentiment also. It's so strange, he's been in the game for long enough to know that kissing a badge is not something you do lightly.

I noticed a trend with A certain type of player that there’s always drama around them 👀

That game against Croatia was the single worst thing I have ever seen, you could grab a random guy off the street and even they would have scored one of those three open chances.

I don't understand that this KZfaq channel isn't that popular 🙁🙁😓

So many have done it in Italy though... Pirlo, Ibrahimovic, R9

From a footballing perspective this has really screwed us; we're down 2 strikers now with Dzeko leaving also, and the candidates to fill that role as well as their price tags are far from reassuring. Transfer windows really are hell for an Inter fan.

I honestly think he would do pretty well at Atletico Madrid playing up top with Griezmann

2:34 That slogan "Not for everyone"... You don't say!? 😅😂

You forgot the part that Juve fans was Racialy abuse him, and he still entertain going to Juve.

I've never seen one player that is being hated by so many fanbases despite playing for all of those clubs😂

An example of unfettered greed. Everybody is greedy but most people do it subtly and with some calculations that they may have to lose on one side to gain on another. He seem to want to win on both sides. Usually, our greed manifest itself in the form that we drop one side irrespective of the pain they may suffer but acquiesce to the other side. Lukaku wants to hold on to all sides at once

Nice Chopin background!

If lukaku is listening, just remember you started playing for fun, come back to that, money will fallow. Good luck 👍

I feel like Chelsea should give Lukaku a chance. They’re crying out for a proven striker and if they sign Caicedo who knows how much money they’ll have left to spend.

Lukaku's mishap against Sevilla in 2020 and Manchester City in 2023 feel as if he was really Harry Maguire on forward 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Lukaku 🤦 What is he thinking!?

He's still a beast full of speed and power, he's still can play football for a long time and scores many goal, he's still rich and famous.. interisti just don't care or feel pity anymore.. he still can play in Saudi or MLS.

lukaku is like pogba, never loyal to the club they signed for, always leave a back door open and make everyone question their motivation and intention

*And the thing that confuses me the most is why he chooses violence when he finally found a happy place. Coz we hadn't seen Lukaku this happy since his West Brom and Everton days so the move to Inter made so much sense under Conte and also made sense under Inzaghi especially with Dzeko leaving he'd have basically been a guaranteed starter so it's so puzzling that he'd rather burn that bridge twice especially knowing how Serie A ultras can be when they love you they love you but lord have mercy when they don't like you they can stoop very low.

7:00 lol like you watched him thoroughly in the Serie A. He was dependent on others laying him the ball in perfect position. He was also the reason they went out of Europe.

Good old Dzeko. Hes made a career out of being cover for absolute fools and outshining them. He deserved to be the main man at a big club and get some proper praise for his skills and general attitude

Forget this guy. Do a video on Reece Oxford. People in England will remember start of 2015 season West Ham V Arsenal 16 year old Oxford got MOTM and was compared to Viera. What happened???

Of course Lukaku will check other clubs. Chelsea had indicated that they should not have him and Inter stated that they could not afford him anymore, and have waited too long to clarify what they intended to do with him. Any other football player would have acted exactly the same

Zlatan made it through in italy playing for the big 3 clubs in there, but lukaka ain’t zlatan

There can’t be many players who have been as successful as he has who’s hated by his own fans wherever he’s played. You don’t sign for club then in an interview tell everyone your dream is to play for another. Won’t help ingratiate you with the fanbase.

Damn, i remember Lukaku's compilation of kissing his club badges

The purchase of Lukaku from United (almost 80 ml.) could have been sustainable for Inter if there hadn't been the Covid period; but it's fine. Before Covid the Club was growing and got a coach, Conte, with a very heavy salary (12ml more or less), Barella (around 40, and I will be forever grateful to the Club for that ^^), others... but above all Lukaku at almost 80. At Inter, paired with Lautaro, he did remarkable things. Then, after two years, he wanted to leave, leaving us all astonished; but a little could have been "understandable" - a little... - because Conte was gone, we had sold Hakimi -.- Pintus was no longer there (a great athletic trainer). However, they don't play at Chelsea like they do at Inter, and there they don't have two strikers playing close together, and in any case he didn't have time to develop an understanding like he had with Lautaro. He wanted to return to Inter, and we were happy for that (and defended him against the English fans who described him as he turned out to be; we should apologize to them, they were right); the Club took him on a onerous loan which, even if it didn't cover Chelsea's expenses, was nonetheless very heavy for the Club's financial situation. Lukaku started the season badly, very badly, he was half injured, he went to the World Cup anyway, but we later discovered that the injury was very serious; he returned to important levels at the end of the season and helped Inter in the champions and above all in the last ten (more or less) games of Serie A, when Inter, the Inter players, decided to remedy the "character" difficulties in the previous periods, playing really well and practically always winning (apart from the match lost in Naples, where the reserves mostly played, only in the last two, against Torino in Turin - albeit won - and in the champions final, Inter, for different reasons, it wasn't at better ...sure against City it was tactically, but not in other aspects...). And we are at now. Inter wanted to buy Lukaku, despite the fact that 40 ml with a very heavy "salary" for a thirty-year-old was a questionable expense, but considering his at times sensational understanding with Lautaro (who we have only seen on a few occasions this year due to Lukaku's injuries and because when he returned to be in shape, Inzaghi, who had had to squeeze Dzeko, thought it right to continue relying on the latter, since it was Dzeko who had brought us there ...and yes, I too would have preferred to see Lukaku starting in the final. for the depth he gives to the team, which Dzeko cannot give, but Inzaghi has, shall we say, rewarded Dzeko for what he had done throughout the season; you cannot tell a player who has given you so much that he will not play the match more important than an entire career, because now there is Lukaku) considering the magnificent understanding with Lautaro and his leadership in the locker room (...), Inter wanted him, despite the weight of the whole operation, and he was negotiating with Juventus!!? With the team against which we defended him from the vulgar controversy for his celebration against racism!? In which the most representative players had preferred to defend their most vulgar fans!? On that occasion Roc Nation defended him, rightly, with all his might; how will he justify the transfer to Juventus?! Lukaku with this absurd behavior has lost everything (I loved him too much not to despise him deeply now). At Juventus, then, the reasons that justified Inter's willingness to take him back are not there. Allegri makes his teams play badly, and in any case could make him play as a sole striker, thus finding himself the Lukaku of United and Chelsea; and even if he also makes him play with another nearby striker, he will have to build an understanding; moreover, when he returned to form we understood that what he can give you now is the ability to defend the ball to raise the team, and goals if you have many chances (he misses many, and Inter have many chances to score in one match, Allegri's Juventus weren't), but he are no longer able to give defenders yards in the open field like he did three years ago. I think he has "interested" people around, who don't choose for his good, and that he's just a narcissistic big child (but we already knew that). What matters is that such a person stays away from us (after all, he goes to the team with the most convictions for his fraudulent behavior in the world; he deserves it).

im a juve fan and i hope from all my heart i never see him in the club i love

as an arsenal fan, we always offer false dawns to strikers. Shane long used to look like peak Michael Owen against us

I mean, something that I have noticed from Lukaku on matches, is that everytime a teammate makes a mistake or even just does a different thing from what he wanted to, then he looks really upset, which to me is pretty hilarious given his record of mistakes on crucial moments.

Great content as always!

Hello, I am waiting for you to make a video about Arda Guler

His mother wasn't so happy noticed she told him to go away again and worse to Juventus

If he does end up moving to Juve he'll officially become Carlos Tevez 2.0.

Another fact that made it so unbelievable he could move to Juventus: he had a big clash with Juventus players and supporters in the last match ad Juventus Stadium, and he was also subject to racist insults… that was a big case.

He should come back to Everton , we love him COYB

Lakaka was the best goalkeeper in the 22/23 champions league final. Watchu all talking about?

His actions reminds me of Nicolas Anelka.

Mourinho called him a virus, that tells you everything

Welcome to everton romelu lukaku x

Well done to Inter for pulling out of signing him after his unproffesional actions👏👏

Blud's just a left-footed Benteke 😭

He's a mercenary.

This guy is the football equivalent of Lü Bu

Bear in mind that if he does join Juventus, he will make a lot of angry people among Juve fans too. It's almost as if he uses that as a criteria to pick his next club: where can he possibly piss off the maximum number of fanbases.

Ego of ronaldo and footballing ability of a championship player

I can't wait till he pulls out the race card!!! Then we'll see the bleeding hearts out to defend him.

The past eight months have really altered how people view Lukaku. This is worst than Higuain. On top of that, he’s really bad in viewing the room and keeping his mouth shut

Lukaku please come to Madrid we need you

What he’s doing is going to probably hurt himself but hey who knows if he’s making the right decision until it’s set and done. I feel we have to leave him to enjoy his football no matter the team he decides to play for

Just one point: it was not Inter’s intention to sell him to Chelsea, until he asked to leave. And that happened ONE WEEK before the beginning of Serie A

can someone explain what his salute and silence gesture means?

I'm afraid he's not smart enough to even understand what he does wrong.

Lukaku could have been another Drogba. He just lacked the drive. You can be good for a season or two. But consistance is key. You can't trust him in big games.
