Lukaku: Everyone wants to go to Real Saren to play Last year I turned down Manchester City's offer

Live bar December 31, Lukaku was interviewed by Sky Sports Italy, and he talked about the reasons for leaving Inter to join Chelsea.

Lukaku: You know, as a player, I grew up as a Chelsea fan, it's my favorite team, and the picture of me going to Stamford Bridge when I was 15 and then I went there when I was 18, but it didn't go well, and the challenge has always been in my head. I'm the kind of person I'm, I always try to face the difficulties and I don't know why it's always been the case, it inspires me to move forward and I find something in my heart to help the team.

After my first year at Inter, I turned down Manchester City's offer, which was even higher than chelsea had given. I didn't want to go, I felt that wasn't the time, it was the first year and I couldn't leave Inter. I want to give for Inter because Inter saved my career.

I was in an aisle at Manchester United at the time and it felt terrible, for Inter I was a great investment and we did great things together. After winning the league title, I went to the management to ask for a renewal and I said I'm 28 now, my family feels good in Milan and we all want to settle here. But Inter didn't want to renew his contract, saying it was impossible and I had a hard time accepting it.

In my mind's eye, there are three teams that are absolutely top-notch: Barca, Real Madrid and Bayern. Everyone wants to play there, that's true, but I thought I was creating my own story at Inter, but I would go if one day it was possible to play for one of those three clubs.

But the first thing I want is to renew my contract with Inter and I want to continue after two years of great things with the team. I'm talking not just about myself, but also About Lautaro, Barrera, Bastoni, Shkrinjar and all the players who grew up with me. But in the end the contract extension did not come to fruition, and then I said to myself: if there is no renewal, there is only one team I can imagine, and that is Chelsea. I didn't consider going to Chelsea until the offer arrived, I went to find Inzaghi and we talked, he was nice to me, he and his team were real men. But not renewing it really bothered me and it hurt me.
