Romelu Lukaku is dissatisfied after his move to Chelsea and team manager Thomas Tuchel and dreams of a return to his former club Inter Milan.
"I'm not happy with the situation," said the Belgian international in an interview with Sky Sports Italia, which was recorded earlier this month and broadcast yesterday, Thursday: "I'll play for Inter again at some point, I really hope so."
After two years in Italy he was “physically in very good shape, even better than before.
But I'm not happy with the situation here in London, "said Lukaku." I think the coach decided to play with a different system, but I can't give up and have to keep working and behave like a professional. "
Tuchel surprised and angry
Tuchel reacted angrily to the statements: “We don't like it, I don't like it because it's noise that we don't need.
We need a quiet environment and focus and that doesn't help, ”said the Chelsea manager.
“I don't feel like he's unhappy.
So I would say it's a surprise.
If there is anything to discuss, it is behind closed doors. "
Lukaku moved from Milan to London last summer as the most expensive transfer in club history for 115 million euros.
In the current season, the Belgian, who has a contract with Chelsea until the summer of 2026, suffered from a few injuries and a corona infection.
He scored seven goals in 18 competitive games.
