Lukaku admits leaving Inter was a “mistake”

It doesn’t take a genius to understand that Romelu Lukaku made a mistake when leaving Inter Milan for Chelsea last year. The Belgian had a miserable time at Chelsea after a stellar title-winning campaign the year before for Inter.

That all led to where we are today, Rom is back on a one-year loan deal that is assumed to be made permanent at some point in the future.

During a recent event for the new Inter kits, Rom was asked what his biggest challenge in football was.

“The one right now. You know, I left, it was a mistake, didn’t I, Nico? What we do in the locker room and on the pitch, the relationships we have with each other, that’s really important. My hugs with Lautaro? I needed some love this morning! It’s also right for people to see that our team is really united.”

He also had some kind words for Inter as a club as he feels that they have given him a special opportunity to play at a higher level.

“Inter have given me the opportunity to play at a higher level in my career. I am really happy to wear this jersey, we hope to continue to grow like in the past years. We have to continue like this if we want to reach the goal.”
