The fictitious title of tournament top scorer without VAR will surely not console Romelu Lukaku, after his new failed performance yesterday against Ukraine. Once again, he missed a big opportunity in front of the goalkeeper. Once again, he is criticized in the flat country.
“I found him very heavy in his runs, he was never in the right place when there was a good cross. Everyone can make mistakes, but I had the impression that he was not in the game”says former goalkeeper Silvio Proto. Journalist Alexandre Braeckman did not mince his words either. “We have the impression that physically, he is burned out. He is never where he should be. He lacks rhythm, precision, confidence. It makes you wonder if we should not start with Openda against France. It was a complicated match, like the whole tournament for him. He was the weakest Belgian on the pitch.”.
Its image also degraded by the transfer market
Romelu Lukaku is therefore in turmoil in Belgium, but he is also in turmoil on the transfer market. Let us explain. Already considered a traitor on the other side of the Alps after having let Inter Milan down (contrary to what he had announced to the Inter players), the Belgian striker is now ready to say yes to AC Milan! It is the front page of the Sports Gazette today, which announces that Lukaku has given his agreement in principle to join the Rossoneri.
Let’s remember that he has two years left on his contract with Chelsea, who want to sell him permanently this summer. The price wanted by the English is €43 million, but Milan wants to lower the price to €30 million. After the Euro probably, especially if he continues to not perform like this. Or by hoping for a loan at the very end of the summer transfer window, if Lukaku has not found other solutions. The other solution, precisely, could come from Naples, since Antonio Conte has already mentioned his name, and risks losing Victor Osimhen during the transfer window. After Inter and AS Roma, Lukaku therefore has a good chance of discovering a third Italian club, and not improving his image at the same time.
