Chelsea's club-record signing Romelu Lukaku has posted a message that could be interpreted as a jibe at senior Chelsea figures, including Thomas Tuchel and Todd Boehly, as the striker looks forward to a potential redemption season with Inter Milan in 2022/23.
He endured a nightmare first year on his return to west London. The 29-year-old, despite ending up as Chelsea's top goalscorer in all competitions last season, only managed to get a mere eight goals in 26 appearances in the League. Not only did he suffer from various injury problems during his second short-term stint in SW6, but he himself had admitted that he was annoyed with manager Tuchel back at the start of January that he wasn't being optimised to his best abilities within the system.
Since that infamous Sky Italy interview, the former Blues number 9 who did play a significant role in the FIFA Club World Cup victory, had way back with supporters finding it hard to support a player who no longer wanted to be at the club after admitting his mistake. This, therefore, culminated in new owners Todd Boehly and Clearlake taking responsibility for a huge mistake of the Roman Abramovich era and cutting losses with a mere loan fee accumulated from Inter in the early parts of this summer transfer window.
