Lukaku reveals real reason he flopped at Chelsea

When speaking candidly about his unsuccessful debut season at his parent club Chelsea last season, Lukaku said it was a trying time for him.

Lukaku reveals real reason he flopped at Chelsea

The Belgian international is back at Inter Milan on a one-year loan following his £97.5 million club record return to Chelsea.

During his two seasons with Inter, the former Manchester United star scored 64 goals and captured the Serie A championship in 2020–2021.

Speaking with DAZN (via Football Italia), Lukaku clarified what went wrong following his summer 2018 transfer to Chelsea.

The 29-year-old said, “I think before, when I left [Chelsea], I wanted to take revenge at Chelsea because when I was young, it was my team for eleven years. I had the opportunity to go back there and thought I would be a hero, but that was not the case. In March, when I heard there was an opportunity to come back here [Inter], I slowly didn’t say anything, but towards the end of the season, we did a very good job with the club. and I was able to come back here.”

Lukaku added: “I make reflections only at the end of the season. I saw that as a player with Inter, I did well; the season at Chelsea for me was difficult. I had no doubts; that is why I made the decision to come back here.”
