Juventus Supporters Protest Against Romelu Lukaku Transfer
Juventus supporters have expressed their opposition to the club’s pursuit of Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku. The Belgian international, who spent last season on loan at Inter Milan, is looking to leave Chelsea permanently this summer. However, he has struggled to find a new club.
Initially, Lukaku wanted to stay at Inter Milan, but the Champions League finalists were unwilling to meet Chelsea’s £40 million asking price. As a result, Lukaku has now held talks with Juventus, who are negotiating with Chelsea for his transfer.
Despite the potential move, a section of Juventus fans have made it clear that they do not want Lukaku at the club. A video filmed outside Juventus’ medical center captured fans chanting, “We don’t want Lukaku.”
In response to reports suggesting that Lukaku’s representatives, Roc Nation Sports International, may split from the striker following the breakdown in negotiations with Inter, Roc Nation posted a message on Instagram. They called out the reports as “fake news and irresponsible reporting” and urged people to focus on the facts and the truth.
Interestingly, Chelsea has also been in talks with Juventus over a deal for their Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic. Juventus is demanding at least £63 million for the 23-year-old, who scored 14 goals in all competitions last season. Vlahovic has also attracted interest from Paris Saint-Germain.
The Lukaku transfer saga highlights the complexities and challenges involved in player transfers. Clubs must navigate financial demands, player preferences, and fan sentiments to secure successful deals. In this case, Lukaku’s change of heart and Juventus fans’ opposition add an extra layer of complexity to the negotiations.
It remains to be seen how the situation will unfold and whether Lukaku will ultimately join Juventus or find another club. The transfer window is a time of uncertainty and speculation, with clubs and players exploring various options to strengthen their squads.
