£250,000 a week Chelsea star demoted to Chelsea U21s and hasn’t spoken to Mauricio Pochettino even once
As reported by the Telegraph through Metro, Chelsea’s forward Romelu Lukaku is currently undergoing training sessions with the Chelsea U21 team and has not engaged in any conversations with Chelsea’s head coach, Mauricio Pochettino, since the latter’s arrival this summer.
Lukaku is fervently seeking an exit from Chelsea during this transfer window, following his loan stint at Inter Milan in the previous season.
A personal agreement has been reached between Lukaku and Juventus. However, Chelsea has encountered difficulties in reaching a suitable agreement with the Italian club.
Juventus has expressed interest solely in a deal involving a combination of cash and player exchange, specifically involving Dusan Vlahovic moving in the opposite direction.
A significant hurdle arises due to Pochettino’s lack of inclination toward Vlahovic and his disinterest in incorporating him into the Stamford Bridge setup.
Earlier in the transfer window, Lukaku declined an opportunity to move to Saudi Arabia. Presently, there appears to be no concrete interest from other parties in securing the services of the Belgian striker, resulting in Lukaku’s predicament of being stranded in a state of uncertainty regarding his transfer situation.
