Despite Inter Milan’s efforts to secure Romelu Lukaku on a new loan, there were rumors that he might consider a move to Saudi Arabia.
In the midst of swirling transfer rumors surrounding Romelu Lukaku, it has become increasingly apparent that the Belgian striker has made up his mind about his future. Reports have emerged suggesting that Lukaku, currently on loan at Inter Milan from Chelsea, is resolute in his desire to stay at the Italian club, despite lucrative offers from Saudi Arabia and the emergence of interest from local rivals AC Milan.
According to Various sources, Lukaku has firmly declined a substantial €100 million offer from Saudi Arabia, which is a testament to his dedication to his current club. Although it should be noted that the actual bid fell slightly short of the reported amount. Initially, the proposal entailed a two-year contract with an annual salary of €25 million. However, the potential suitors have since revised their offer to €30 million per year, adding an extra year to the deal, thus valuing the package at €90 million.
The 29-year-old striker, widely regarded as one of Europe’s most formidable attacking talents, appears steadfast in his commitment to plying his trade in European football at least until the 2026 World Cup.
With Inter Milan standing as his preferred destination, Lukaku has reportedly deemed it his “only option” for the upcoming season. This sentiment highlights his desire to continue wearing the Nerazzurri jersey, and he is eagerly awaiting constructive negotiations between Chelsea and Inter Milan to facilitate his prolonged stay in the Serie A.
