The “disrespectful” player is considering staying with Chelsea, but Pochettino wants him to leave.

Romelu Lukaku is now open to the idea of ​​staying at Chelsea, but Mauricio Pochettino has other ideas.

This was stated by Marco Conterio of Tutto Mercato Web.

What’s the latest on Chelsea and Romelu Lukaku? We see…

What’s the story?
Well, the Belgian caused quite a stir at Stamford Bridge this week. A report from Corriere dello Sport has said that Lukaku is ready to hire lawyers to talk to Todd Boehly about a move from Chelsea to Inter Milan.

The Italian giants are keen on securing another loan deal, although Conterio believes Chelsea are unwilling to consider another temporary move.

There’s an offer from Saudi Arabia on the table but the 30-year-old doesn’t see any interest in it.

It was even said that Lukaku will “beat his first players on the table” to force an exit.

That seems to have upset Pochettino. Conterio explains how Lukaku is now demonstrating a willingness to stay in West London as a return to Inter looks unlikely.

However, according to the Italian journalist, Pochettino has “other ideas”, suggesting that he is not interested in reinstating the Belgian international.

Al-Ahli has since improved its bid to sign Lukaku and is said to be more considering a move to Saudi Arabia.
Lukaku should leave Chelsea

Hopefully something stands between Al-Ahli and Lukaku as the striker has to leave Chelsea: he has burned bridges.

Ally McCoist said on talkSPORT that Pochettino should get rid of the Antwerp-born striker to ensure a positive dressing room environment next season, adding that Lukaku’s heart doesn’t appear to be with Chelsea after that famous Inter Milan interview in 2021.

Graeme Souness even called the Belgian ‘disrespectful’ after hearing the remarkable comments.

Lukaku could do well under Pochettino next season, but with young talents like Armando Broja, Christopher Nkunku and new Nicolas Jackson in the Argentina attack, it’s time to develop the 30-year-old.
