Romelu Lukaku has rumbled a handful of Chelsea fans after leaving a comment under Raphinha's Instagram post announcing his move to Barcelona. The former Leeds United talisman was heavily linked with an exit from Elland Road this summer, courting the interest of the Blues, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Barcelona.
The west Londoners fought long and hard for the 25-year-old's signature; Todd Boehly reached an agreement with Jesse Marsch's side for Raphinha which, in principle, would have seen Chelsea sign the winger for a fee in the region of £60million. It's said that the Blues were once best placed to sign the Brazil international, but the Spanish giants bided their time and swooped in at the eleventh hour.
Despite the transfer blow still raw and Chelsea fans licking their wounds, Lukaku let his thoughts be known of his parent club missing out on the signing. In doing so, the Belgium international, who is currently on loan at Inter Milan though still under contract at Stamford Bridge until 2026, left many Blues fans unhappy.
