Romelu Lukaku says he was allowed to leave Chelsea for Inter Milan after laying bare his issues with Thomas Tuchel in a frank conversation with Todd Boehly.
Lukaku rejoined Inter in June, signing for the Italian side on a season-long loan deal. The move came just a year after the Belgian striker had re-signed for the Blues for a club-record £97.5million.
His return to Chelsea had become a nightmare for Lukaku, who managed just eight goals in 26 Premier League games in the 2021/22 season. The 29-year-old’s struggles were exacerbated by his poor relationship with Tuchel, who was often in conflict with his star striker.
