LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) – Romelu Lukaku has become the target of a vicious jab from Juventus fans in anticipation of a prospective move from Chelsea.
The former Inter Milan striker is getting closer to moving from Chelsea to Turin, which may cause Dusan Vlahovic to move the other way.
According to reports, he has already reached a personal agreement with the Bianconeri and will sign a three-year contract with an extra year’s option.
The moment in which Lukaku unintentionally stopped Federico Di Marco’s header toward the goal in the Champions League final, ensuring Manchester City’s victory, is the subject of the allusion.

The Nerazuri were defeated 1-0 in Istanbul as the prime opportunity was lost.
However, Lukaku has been sent a stern warning by Juventus Ultras, the Curva Sud, ahead of the move, as they held up a banner outside the Allianz Stadium stating: “Lukaku stays in Milan, we already have a second goalkeeper.”
The supporters, who already demonstrated against Lukaku’s probable arrival last month, may be harsh toward the striker if he really transfers to Juventus this summer.
His conversations with the Bianconeri behind Inter’s back appear to have not gone over well with the supporters, and if the striker completes a permanent move from Chelsea, he may face even more criticism for it.
