Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku held talks with Juventus while he was a member of Inter Milan.
According to Corriere della Sera, the parties' first contacts took place in March 2023, but then the Belgian asked the Old Lady to wait until the end of the season. The positive outcome of the negotiations is dated 12 June, the third day after the Champions League final between Inter and Manchester City. Romelu's decision was influenced by his absence from the Nerazzurri's starting line-up for this match.
