Inter Milan striker, Lautaro Martinez has criticised the attitude of his former team-mate Romelu Lukaku over his plans to join rivals Juventus.

 

After playing for Inter on loan last season, it was anticipated that Lukaku could secure a permanent move to the club from Chelsea. However, it later emerged that the Belgium international was also negotiating with Serie A rivals Juventus, leading to Inter pulling out of talks.

 

Reacting to the ongoing transfer sage, Argentina international, Martinez said he was left disappointed by Lukaku's actions, especially after the 30-year-old had ignored his calls about the situation.  

 

Martinez told Gazzetta dello Sport: 'I was disappointed, it's the truth. I also tried to call him in those days of chaos, but he never answered me, the same he did with my other companions.

'After so many years together, after so many things lived together, I was disappointed.

'Thankfully, it's his choice. I wish him the best. But I didn't expect this attitude.'

 

Lukaku initially played for Inter on a permanent basis between 2019 and 2021 before returning on loan last season.

 

In total, he played 132 times for the club and scored 78 goals. Lukaku won the Serie A title and the Coppa Italia while at Inter and was also part of the side that reached the final of the Champions League last season.

 

However, his future remains unresolved as he has been training alone at Chelsea's Cobham base.
