Lakuku Breaks Silence On Move To Saudi Arabia

Romelu Lukaku has maintained that he has no plans to move to Saudi Arabia committing his future to Inter Milan.

The Chelsea striker has been the subject of interest from the Saudi Pro League which has been attracting a number of the player’s teammates at his parent club.

N’Golo Kante confirmed a move to Al-Ittihad on Tuesday evening, bringing an end to his seven years in the capital, and deals to bring Eduoard Mendy, Kalidou Koulibaly, Hakim Ziyech, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and Callum Hudson-Odoi to the Kingdom are believed to be in the works.

After a season on loan at Inter Milan, a question mark remains over the future of the 30-year-old, who is keen to remain in Serie A.

But Lukaku has been clear that he has no plans to leave Europe after receiving a second offer from Saudi Arabia, and will instead fight for the chance to remain in Milan.

Discussions between the two clubs remain ongoing, but Inter’s president Steven Zhang made Lukaku’s position entirely transparent in remarks made last month.

‘Romelu loves Inter, that’s very clear,’ Zhang said. ‘He’s great guy but he’s under contract at Chelsea.’

‘We have to wait and speak to Chelsea to make Lukaku’s future clear’.

Chelsea are set to sanction their first summer transfer under their new manager, Xabi Alonso.

According to the BBC Sport, the Blues are ‘open’ to selling Filip Jorgensen this summer after the goalkeeper indicated his desire to leave Stamford Bridge.

Jorgensen joined the Premier League west London club two seasons ago from Villarreal.

The 24-year-old shot-stopper was expected to compete for the number one position with goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, but he made just 11 Premier League appearances over the two seasons.

However, while the arrival of Alonso to Stamford Bridge could lead to a change in fortunes for Jorgensen, the report added that the Danish star has already expressed his desire to leave Chelsea this summer to get more regular playing game-time elsewhere.

Chelsea had blocked a potential exit for Jorgensen in the January transfer window, but the Premier League west London club are now open to a sale, with European and English clubs expected to explore a deal for the goalkeeper.

Arsenal legend, Paul Merson, has handed his old club two signings to make in the summer.

“I am a big fan. If they could get him, I would. I still think they probably need another midfield player as well.”

Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney, has picked the Red Devils defender Luke Shaw as the most improved player in the Premier League following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season.

Speaking on his BBC podcast, Rooney said, “I think, for me, Luke Shaw. I think Luke Shaw has been the most improved player this season.

“I know he is an experienced player now, but I think his level this season has been much better than it has been in recent seasons.

“People might look at Kobbie Mainoo but I don’t think he’s improved. It was just the fact he wasn’t playing under the former manager so it wasn’t good or bad.”

Shaw enjoyed one of his most consistent seasons at Man United and started all of Man United’s Premier League games.
