Romelu Lukaku and Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino have not communicated since the latter was appointed, it has come to light.
Due to the Premier League team’s desire for the 30-year-old to depart this summer, this has happened.
Fabrizio Romano, a football transfer expert, claims that the intended sale of Romelu Lukaku to Inter Milan, where he spent the previous season on loan, has fallen through.
The Serie A rivals of Inter, Juventus, are now set to recruit the Belgian striker.
“More on Romelu Lukaku. Deal OFF with Inter doesn’t change Chelsea plans: he’s expected to return on Monday but won’t travel to USA with the squad.
“Understand Pochettino never spoke to Lukaku: Chelsea want him to leave.
“Juve, Saudi or any other club ready to pay €40m,” Romano tweeted on Saturday.
