Romelu Lukaku decided to bite his tongue while addressing the past window but suggested that things didn’t go as reported in a presser from Belgium (via Tuttomercatoweb).
“Most people here know me. I don’t beat it around the bush. I’ll talk in due time and wait for the right moment. If I revealed what truly happened, you’d all be shocked. A lot of BS was written about me. There were some moments where I thought I’d burst. I probably would have done it five years ago. Instead, I focused on what I do best: playing football.”
Lukaku made a lofty comparison.
“I’m like LeBron James, who has been playing for many years and had to tolerate the critics. He works hard every summer and silences them. I’ll respond on the pitch too. Many things were said about me, but I’m concentrated on Roma and Belgium. I practiced hard on my own. As you can see, I’m in good shape and wish to forge ahead. The Giallorossi staff was impressed by my form when I came in. My performances do the talking. I have to thank Nainggolan for the connection with Roma.”
Lukaku turned down a move to Al-Hila.
“I was honored by their interest, but I wasn’t convinced after the initial conversations. They are the biggest club in the Middle East, and the Saudi League will become one of the best ones in the world. However, I didn’t want to leave Europe yet.”
