Legendary defender urges club to reunite with Chelsea superstar this summer
According to latest reports, Inter Milan legend Giuseppe Bergomi has suggested that Romelu Lukaku could return to Giuseppe Meazza this summer amidst his struggles at Chelsea. There have been rumours linking the striker to rejoin his former club at the end of the current campaign.
The Blues facilitated a club-record £97.5million transfer for Lukaku in the previous summer. However, his time at Stamford Bridge has not been rosy, having struggled to replicate the form he showcased in Serie A with Inter. As such, the centre-forward is being linked with a return on a loan move after this season. Bergomi, a one-club man who played for twenty years with the Serie A side, has chipped in with his thoughts on the matter.
Speaking in an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, as quoted by Football Italia, Bergomi has advised the Nerazzurri to bring back the Belgian attacker under the right conditions. He added more fuel to the fire by revealing how Simone Inzaghi admires the forward despite working with him only for a few days.
The Italian defender has strong linkages to Nerazzurri, given he spent more than decades at the club as a player. A FIFA World Cup winner with Gli Azzurri in 1982, he is considered one of the greatest defenders to ever grace the beautiful game.
“Lukaku was the best one in Italy, I think Inter would be another team with him. With all respect for Edin Dzeko, Lukaku had a different impact in terms of power, pace and leadership. He had Inter in his hands. If there were the conditions, I would bring him back. Inzaghi confessed to me he’s never coached such a strong striker despite working with him for just 10 days.”
