During the summer transfer, there was a scandal involving Inter Milan and forward Romelu Lukaku, who at one point began to ignore his big club and began negotiations for a move to Juventus Turin, and in the end, a move to Roma..
The general director of the Nerazzurri, Giuseppe Marotta, recommended which center forward he chose:
Romelu Lukaku and Mauro Icardi.
\? Based on how the project developed, I would choose Mauro Icardi. Of course, Lukaku can say everything that is in advance, but we have always respected him... This is an accident, since pennies are a big deal in football,” journalist Fabrizio Romano quotes Marotti as saying at the Festival dello Sport.
Previously, the General Director of Inter also announced the transfer of Andre Onan to Manchester United last summer.
