It's caused by all of juventus fans were also hating him. Lukaku is the most incompetence player that has ever exist. He deserves it. No reason to keep him in chelsea or even serie a club. That's his karma. Inter and juventus already rejected him. The only way for lukaku to go to the saudi club.
This guy has even rejected an offer that was coming from the totenham. He is too selfish and think inter was everything in the past without even lookin at the secondary choice.

I would not be surprised if there are so many people who dislike him so much. That's why juventus was not interesting to sign him again. Chelsea shall sell him asap. He's a bad thing for the team. No place for lukaku in chelsea.

Yes, only club that currently exists for Lukaku is Al Hilal which plays in the Saudi League. Although Lukaku doesn't want to play other than League Serie A, but it seems he will play in Saudi, also Chelsea has reportedly given the green light to Al Hilal. Actually Inter have been trying to be able to recruit again, but Lukaku has another agreement behind Inter, if Lukaku not had another agreement maybe he ready at Inter right now, because the club has already received money from transfer fee andre Onana.

Last season Ac milan performance was not impressive, it was even too difficult for  them to be among the top four league.  Ac Milan was even beating by small teams in different time, the lack of quality players was a big challenge for ac milan.  The signing of several talented player will  really make a difference for ac milan this season,   ac milan need to be strong  back like the way they have always been. I just hope ac milan will be better this season in their performance.

it's not a problem that Milan lacks quality player but last season AC Milan appeared inconsistent, sometimes it can be stronger, sometimes it becomes weak when it's almost the end of the season. on the one hand, Milan performance last season may not look impressive because we know that last season was not an easy time for AC Milan, who had to maintain the performance of their players in Serie A and also maintain their physique for the European League.
with this it's clear that maybe you misunderstood the bad thought last season about Milan because the AC Milan coach has tried his best to be in the top 4 in Serie A and can do well in the European League.

Maybe you mean the Champions League, because AC Milan last season played in the Champions League instead of the Europa League, and they were eliminated by Inter Milan in the semi-finals 3-0 on aggregate.
Regarding their performance last season, they were not very promising, you are right that they had a lot of problems with their consistency and it was very difficult to be in the top 4, fortunately Juventus was sanctioned so it worked in their favor and became one of the clubs entitled to a place in the Champions League for being in the top 4 at the end of the table.
They are very difficult to maintain stability which ultimately makes them unable to compete for the Scudetto.

Yes, Inter have finally abandoned any negotiations with Lukaku and now they are trying to negotiate with Folarina Balogun from Arsenal. The striker spent last season on loan at Reims, but now Arsenal are planning to sell their striker for at least 30 million euros. This is more expensive than Inter planned to spend on Lukaku, but they will probably go for it, as they consider Folarin to be a more promising striker. I think Lukaku will have other options and Saudi Arabia will not be his only choice.

Thats right. In the end these are interconnected but still the focus may be between Mbappe and PSG as this could leave some transfers open if Mbappe leaves.
On the other hand this could also encourage some players including Dusan and Osimhen who are at Napoli.
But that only refers to a few for the case of Chelsea there might be a difference because with Mbappe leaving or not they will try to get Dusan if that is the best option from Pochettino but if Mbappe leaves and Dusan is one of the options for a replacement then maybe Chelsea should be prepared for the competition that will occur between them and PSG.

I wonder if Vlahovic is the breakthrough striker that Chelsea is looking for. They tried their luck with a number of strikers and although Vlahovic is a good one, is he really that strong? Vlahovic scored 10 goals in the last season, which also includes 2 penalties. To me this is still one of those average performances that would make doubt that he gets along any better in the Premier League with Chelsea. If this doesn't work out it could end the same way as it did with Felix or Havertz when they tried to let him play the striker position.

It's up to Poche if he really wants Dusan as a striker at Chelsea.
Dusan is actually a pretty good striker, it's just that sometimes the performance depends on how the coach exploits him.
He can shine at Fiorentina even though for Juventus he still hasn't shown anything that can be said to be great until now.
Joao Felix came during the previous era and Pochettino did not really expect it because it did not fit the scheme he was going to do as for Havertz actually for me personally this is a little regrettable especially since several Chelsea players who left joined other big clubs which of course this makes Arsenal who brought Havertz, Manchester United who brought Mount and Manchester City who brought Kovavic clearly benefited.
At the moment we only need to see how this will end whether Dusan will indeed go to the EPL or not at this time it is still uncertain.

Ok but you actually got my point I think. Dusan Vlahovic is a pretty good striker, but we are talking about a club who is soon going to break the one billion investment barrier. I would think that a club that is willing to do everything to get to the top should not be looking for pretty good strikers, but for the highest world class there is. Money doesn't seem to bother them. And Allegri is no worse than Pochettino in my opinion, yet Vlahovic wasn't that good for Juventus. I wonder if that is going to change significantly when Pochettino were to become his coach, It is a risky consideration and by far not a no-brainer.

[rendravolt]

After all, which team would want to be played by a player whose performance is not even that stable. Maybe Inter want to show they can afford another striker even if Lukaku doesn't want to accept Inter's offer. As one of Europe's big teams, I think this provides a real example so that all players have more respect for the team they are defending as long as they provide support and are willing to accept everything, instead of having a big head trying to accept offers from other teams.

But I also heard that Juventus are now starting to stay away from Lukaku because they are getting a lot of pressure from the fans to cancel the contract with Lukaku. This also made Lukaku finally contact Inter again to ask about his availability to defend Inter again starting next season, but in my opinion it was too late and there was no place for Lukaku to be at Inter. I think the attacking options for Juventus are quite good, especially if they bring in Alvaro Morata it will actually make Juventus so comfortable with the experience they have.

Final decision not in Lukaku hand for accepting Inter Milan offering but depend with his team Chelsea are agree with bid transfer offer from Inter Milan still 35 million euro. Unbelievable with Inter and Juventus rival until respond from both fans, last rumor Juan Cuadrado get huge pressure from Juventus fans after rumor he will join with Inter Milan.

Lukaku future still unclear yet, he still not return not only with Chelsea has pre season match in United State but also with Inter Milan have start with pre season match too. Will Lukaku have other teams except Inter or Chelsea because both teams have begin training center for pre season match more than one week but Lukaku still not both teams squad for pre season match.

It's true that it was a permanent decision from his former club and as a player he should be able to show his loyalty to stay at Inter. We know that Lukaku is also interested in an offer from Juventus and maybe that's why everyone at Inter is annoyed with him. Juan Quadrado also received a lot of scorn from Juventus fans after he joined Inter and that is very natural considering the animosity between these two fans has been going on for a long time. I think Lukaku will have a new club before the summer closes because it is impossible for him in this situation to return to Chelsea or Inter considering that neither of them are interested in using Lukaku's services.

Inter are moving on with keeping Inzaghi in the manager position. I think they are doing the right thing as well. Because I call their last season performance successful. They won two titles like Coppa Italia and Italian Super Cup first of all. After that they qualified for the Champions League finale and made quite big difficulties for Manchester City there as well. Maybe they weren't in a title race in the Serie A. But there was a reason for that as well. They couldn't start the season well and it was late when they started to do better.

They had defensive issues at the first times of that season. They should make sure now that they don't have the same experience this season.

I've never seen any news about Inzaghi, I didn't think he would leave the team. In the past years, there were news that he would move to other teams, but I did not come across such a thing for this year.
Right now Inter has bigger transfer news. There are rumors that Lautaro Martinez will leave the club and go to Saudi Arabia. In addition, goalkeeper Andre Onana also moved to Manchester United. It seems that there will continue to be names leaving the team

It is too soon and also too young for Lautaro Martínez to play in the Saudi Professional League but indeed, if Lautaro Martínez accepts the offer to play in the Saudi Professional League then Lautaro Martínez will earn a very large salary. Maybe, there are also those who say it is 10 more large than his salary at Inter and yes, if Lautaro Martínez is financially focused so this offer can be accepted. But even so, I personally am not entirely sure that Lautaro Martínez will accept the offer at this moment but about Onana. It looks like maybe Onana's move will really happen at this moment because yes, Manchester United also did not extend De Gea's contract which made Manchester United need Onana to be included in Manchester United's main squad next season.

Last year Inzaghi has been extended his contract for next 2 years which mean this season will be the last year for him as Inter Milan manager but actually Inter Milan owner has been satisfied to his works because under him Inter Milan can able reach to the final match of champion league although Inter has failed to gets the trophy but this is good achievement for him and the owner is really appreciate to his works

And Inter Milan too can able to defend Copa Italy title so Inter Milan performance last season isn't quite bad and for next season Inzaghi was targetting scudetto that's why this team also very active to bought new players and so far there are 6 players who arrived to Inter including Marcus Thuram and new rising star Yann Aurel Bisseck which is expected to be a replacement for Milan Skriniar who left to PSG so Inter Milan will playing with new face next season

[Davian144]

Not all players will be tempted by a high salary offer, there are also players who want a brilliant career by playing in top teams, I think Lautaro Martínez is like that, it would be a shame if he was willing to move to the Saudi Arabian league, of course his career would fade away, now he is still very young and there are still many possible possibilities in his football career and also Lautaro Martínez is currently the mainstay of Inter Milan.

Lautaro Martínez's age is still ideal for him to make a better career before thinking about more money in a low-level league, but one's interest in money is always there and it cannot be denied even though he is still a young player. And I still really want to see a player like Lautaro Martínez in Serie A next season, especially at Inter Milan so that next season Inter Milan can make tougher competition with their rival teams in Serie A.

why should he leave the team? I do not understand
in the end it didn't hurt, he also reached the Champions League final, this means money for the team, not much else
He's a good coach as I've already written, even when he was at Lazio

What a meme team is Inter, what are they waiting for someone to steal from them. When they have a decent coach and can't figure it out, what are they waiting for?
I will never understand this team, sometimes they do things that are really crazy. Never as mad as sacking Spalletti, that's pure madness.

I don't think he would go faster to the lowest level just for the money on offer, but playing in Europe is more promising which will continue to shine for Martinez, currently he is still retained by Inter Milan even though there are several European clubs who have wanted him for a long time.

But even crazier is the offer from the Arab League is 60 million EUR per season earned while from Inter Milan only get 6 million EUR per season, 10x what is earned from the Arab club if Martinez takes it.

But there is no green light according to some media on twitter. https://twitter.com/CLMerlo/status/1682133682595811328

Going there at the age of 25 is a delicate decision for the money and against the career as a professional. I don't have a strong opinion on that and can understand why a player would pick one over the other. But Lautaro Martinez also has a contract until 2026 and as nice as the salary sounds for Martinez, what is the Arab League willing to pay Inter Milan for him? So far I haven't heard of any incredible transfer fees, but only about all these salaries. Inter has no good reason to let him go unless the Arab League makes them rich af.

[FanEagle]

Luck is definitely something that matters without a doubt. However, I also believe that roster management is the most important thing in all of football that many teams fail because it requires a lot of freedom for people who needs to build it. I mean you need 11 good players and some good bench players as well. For that to be a good job, you need players at least valued around 20 million, and 11 of those means 220 million, with some good bench, you will be at around 300-350 million valuation and you will have a pretty decent team.

We have seen teams much higher than that not have any good return at all unfortunately, why? Because they end up with 5 million dollar defender or midfielder with 80 million dollar striker. That's not how you win.

Of course not all players want to play in non-European competitions if they still feel they can fight and play well in Europe. If they are still young then they still hope to last longer in the top flight rather than receiving high offers from non-European teams such as the Arab Pro League. Lukaku, Martinez and several other top players are likely to want to stay in Europe, but it is possible they will accept the offer if one day they are no longer needed in a top European team.

For me Lautaro Martinez is a striker who can still make a big contribution at Inter or maybe at another big team in Europe. He still has a chance to compete to be the best in his position, so moving to the Arab Pro League is not an option for him right now.

[emrecemsan]

Lautaro Martinez needed a companion after Lukaku's returning to Chelsea. He has been used to play with a two forward system for a long while. It has become like the version in which he shows his most effective performance. Now they have Marcus Thuram instead of Lukaku. I wonder if he can make at least the same level of impact with Lukaku. Lukaku and Martinez were players who knew how to play well together. Inzaghi was preferring the Dzeko - Martinez duo mostly in the recent times though.

However I don't think Inter will make do with only Thuram signing to the position. They aren't interested in Lukaku anymore so someone else should be brought there soon.

Those are two difficult choices, whether he wants to be a professional career or choose money, currently the price of Martinez according to TransferMarkt is €85M I don't think Inter Milan will give that price for sure it will be more than €100M more if there is a more serious offer scenario from Arab clubs for Martinez, but I don't know if there is a high clause between Martinez's contract and Inter Milan?

Yes it's still all about salary, it seems from the news that the Arab club is still talking to Martinez not with Inter Milan, obviously if Martinez has given the green light then the club will negotiate with Inter Milan for a price agreement.

But my assumption is that this will never happen and Martinez will stay.

I would assume that Martinez is not the most important target for the Arab clubs, but they are constantly trying their luck reaching out to different kinds of players, different age categories, but also the trainers and professional staff.

Inter Milan is not set up perfectly for the season with their offensive players considering that there is still uncertainty around Lukaku and now it would be quite negligent if they decide to sell Martinez even when the offer is looking great. The problems would show up as soon as they try to get a new striker for that money. The Arab clubs would have to overpay I think or otherwise Martinez won't go anywhere.

Lautaro Martinez's contract, if I'm not mistaken, is until 2026 and for a while before the expiration of his contract with Inter milan I saw a talent that was increasing every season.
In the last season in Serie A Lautaro Martinez was able to score around 21 out of 38 matches and this is not too bad because Martinez contribution is very consistent and this is the reason Inter Milan always maintains this young player because of his young age and very good talent so Inter Milan does not want to lose his flagship player.
I am very sure that next season Lautaro Martinez will perform even better to be able to compete strongly in the next season Champions League.

I can't believe Lautaro Martinez is moving to the Saudi Pro League it's just a rumour, the main reason is that clubs from the Saudi League will not pay players who are still expensive so far they haven't done that, I mean sign players more than 20-40 million their target is older and cheaper players whereas Martinez is not one of those categories, his market price is €85 million and he is still 25 years obviously this is an important asset for Inter. I'm not saying they can't afford Martinez but it is their strategy to offer high salaries while saving on transfer fees, imagine they can use the transfer fee to pay salaries this is a smart strategy.

Yeah Lautaro Martinez's contract is still long until June 2026 and he is one of the mainstays of Inter Milan so there is no way to let him go unless Inter Milan wants to get out of the Champions League zone lol. Other sources report that Lautaro Martinez is main candidate to become captain of the team while former captain Samir Handanovic will leave as a free agent that means Martinez will stay at Inter Milan for the next few seasons.
