To the full article

"I always think of Milan, where I experienced the best moment of my career. Milan and Juventus? I will never play in their media, in Italy I will only play in Inter."

So after all the praise for Inter, why did Lukaku not stay there?

"As a kid I was a Chelsea fan, they were my favorite team at the age of 11. There are pictures of me at Stamford Bridge from the age of 15 or 16. My first term there at the age of 18 was not good, but I always had that challenge in mind. In my career I I always try to face difficulties, I do not know why, but I have always been like that. "

The Belgian striker revealed that even before the offer from the Blues, he refused a tempting offer from the Premier League: "After the first year at Inter I refused an offer from Manchester City, a higher offer than I received from Chelsea. I did not think it was the right time, I was only a year at Inter and did not want to leave. I wanted to do something good for her because she saved my career. I was not good at Manchester United, I felt bad, for Inter it was a good investment and we did beautiful things together. After we won the championship I went to the management and asked for a new contract, I said next year my family will come "They live in Milan, but they did not agree."

"There was no possibility of a new contract, and it was difficult to get it. I thought I could stay for a few more years. All the players dream of playing for Real Madrid, Barcelona or Bayern Munich. I thought I would write my story with Inter, and then if there was a chance I would move to one of those teams. Only then would I leave Inter, but first I wanted to renew a contract.It would have made me happier, and I could have continued the growth along with Lautro Martinez, Niccolò Barla, Milan Shakinarier and Alessandro Bastoni.It did not happen, and then I told myself I could imagine "Only in one team - Chelsea. If Inter were willing to extend a contract I would stay, it was not a matter of money."

In retrospect there was no game.

In two seasons at Milan, Lukaku has been one-half of one of Italy's most successful strikers in recent years alongside Argentine Lautro Martinez. "I miss Lautro," said the Belgian, "I should not have talked to him too much on the pitch, I was willing to die on the pitch for him. Lautro to Chelsea? No, he will stay there, I'll be the one to return. 3 alongside Kevin de Bruyne and Eden Hazard. "

In addition, Lukaku recalled a particularly traumatic moment that happened to his former Inter friend, Christian Eriksen.

As you may recall, the star of the Danish national team collapsed on the pitch in the match against Finland at Euro 2020, and Lukaku recounted how difficult this moment was for him: "I spent more time with these players than with the family. When I say Inter players are my lifelong brothers, it's the truth. I was in pain. I hope he feels better and can return to a normal life, whether in football or not. He is a golden man, he did not speak much but tried to be understood in Italian. The hardest game for me was against Denmark in the Euro, a few days later "The case. If I could go back, I would not play. I did not sleep for three days, I did not sleep the whole euro after it happened. There are more important things than football."
