Inter fans have vowed to show zero tolerance for Romelu Lukaku’s betrayal but maintained ‘there’s no room for racism.’ The Belgian striker is about to touch down at Giuseppe Meazza as a foe following a summer packed with controversies.
Lukaku spent the last season at Inter on loan from Chelsea, with Nerazzurri hoping to negotiate his return in the summer. However, the 30-year-old’s secret discussions with Juventus while trying to broker his return to Meazza were the straw to break the camel’s back as Simone Inzaghi’s side pulled the plug on the deal.
It wasn’t just about the marksman’s talks with the fiercest rivals. He was stalling on pledging his allegiance to Inter, which forced Beppe Marotta to call off the reunion. Lukaku’s inexplicable actions during the summer made him an enemy ‘No 1’ for the Nerazzurri faithful. Frustration boiled over when he decided to return to Serie A with Roma.
As Jose Mourinho’s men arrive at Meazza for a blockbuster clash on Sunday evening, Lukaku can expect a hostile reception. He has been lucky to see the local authorities ban the whistles from the stadium. Otherwise, around 30,000 Inter fans would’ve put him through hell tonight.
One way or another, he’ll get what he deserves. At least that’s what the Inter supporters have promised to do tonight, as relayed by FCInterNews.
“Let’s not fall into banality and stupidity. Let’s leave racism outside the stadium, which is not a thing that belongs to us,” Inter ultras said.
“Let’s make ourselves understand that Milan is no longer his city and that he is no longer welcome here.“
