Inter Milan Fans Promise Lukaku Hostile Reception On San Siro Return
Inter Milan fans have promised Romelu Lukaku a hostile reception when he returns to the San Siro with AS Roma at the end of this month.
Lukaku joined Roma on a season-long loan from Chelsea after spending the 2022/2023 campaign with Inter on similar terms.
Inter were looking to secure Lukaku on a permanent deal at the end of last season but backed out after noticing the Belgium striker was flirting with rivals Juventus.
Lukaku spent two fruitful seasons with Inter before joining Chelsea in the summer of 2021, only to return to the club on loan last season, scoring 14 goals in 37 appearances.
Ahead of Inter hosting Roma in Serie A on October 29, the Nerazzurri fans are planning to unsettle Lukaku in the most unconventional way.
“October 29 is a date we should circle in the calendar so we can be ready to let him hear all our disgust that we feel towards someone who turned his back on us in the most shameful way,” read a statement from the Curva Nord group.
“A character who proved himself to be a small man because before being a champion, you must be a man and know how to keep your word.
“We defended you with swords drawn and you repaid us by turning your back. Before the game against Roma, the Curva Nord will hand out 50,000 whistles to be used at every touch of the ball from he who betrayed our jersey. Let us all show how someone who proved himself unworthy to wear this shirt ought to be treated.”
Lukaku has scored three goals in his first five league games with Roma.
