Romelu Lukaku currently plays for the Serie A champions Inter Milan. His professional career started in 2009 when Lukaku joined the Belgian Pro League club Anderlecht.
While playing for the Belgian club, he won the league’s top goalscorer title, as well as the league championship, and the Belgian Ebony Shoe. In 2011, he joined the English football club Chelsea.
n 2012, the football club West Bromwich Albion took the footballer on a loan. A year later, Lukaku signed for Everton for the 2013-2014 season on a loan.
His brilliant performance made the club buy the footballer for £28 million in 2014. In 2017, Manchester United bought the player for £75 million. In August 2019, Lukaku joined the Italian football club Inter Milan for a club-record fee of €80 million.

Before the age of 23, Lukaku scored 50 Premier League goals. Next to that, he scored over 250 goals during his career up until now, 77 out of which were game winning.
Romelu Lukaku’s Achievements For Inter Milan
Without any doubt, Romelu Lukaku is Inter Milan’s super star. The footballer joined the Italian club to replace Inter’s previous main striker Mauro Icardi. Media agencies reported that Lukaku managed to surpass Icardi’s scoring rate.
The footballer led the Italian team to new heights, winning the Serie A title for the first time since 2009-10. Lukaku scored a total of 24 league goals and assisted for 11 more to help his team to win the league title.
According to the latest news, the Belgium international was named Serie A’s player of the year. The new manager of the club, Simone Inzaghi, stated that the club will keep Lukaku as a “key player” despite the huge interest from UK clubs to the player.
Earlier this year, Inter Milan revealed that it has financial issues and the club might need to sell some players to bridge the financial gap. The club’s financial hardships are mainly caused by the global pandemic that left the stadiums empty for long.
In 2020, Inter Milan reportedly lost $120 million, while their losses are expected to amount to $250 million by the end of 2021.
Premier Clubs Fight For Romelu Lukaku
Even though the club’s officials confirmed that Inter Milan will keep Lukaku, big football clubs are trying to lure the Italian club to sell its key player.
Such transfers are exceptionally important not only to the clubs but also to all those fans who like betting on football. Finding a reliable betting site is not a walk in the park, so better read some reviews of apps before selecting an online sportsbook.

Paris Saint-Germain – 7/1
Bayern Munich – 8/1

According to Sporting Pedia, many bookmakers create special football transfer betting markets, allowing punters to bet on whether a given high-profile player will continue playing for their current team or will join another club. Since access to inside information on the matter is not possible, bookies usually limit the maximum limits on such bets.
Closing Thoughts
At the moment, Lukaku will most likely stay at his current club – Inter Milan. The Italian media agency ANSA reported that Inter Milan is supposed to receive an offer from Chelsea, but the club does not plan to accept it.
Earlier this month, Reuters revealed that the club signed a £237 million investment deal with the US company Oaktree Capital Group that bought a 31.5% stake in Inter Milan. The deal that will solve the club’s financial problems is yet to be closed.
