Martinez reveals Lukaku ignored Inter teammates' calls amid transfer saga – here's what he said about Lautaro in 2021

If it wasn't already apparent from the number of different club badges he's kissed, it is no secret that Romelu Lukaku isn't afraid to burn bridges.

That trend seems to be continuing as he got into talks with Juventus while his former side Inter Milan were trying to bring him back to their club.

His Inter strike partner, Lautaro Martinez reveals that he has even ignored calls from all his teammates during this transfer saga.

“Lukaku saga? I was disappointed by Romelu, it's the truth," revealed Martinez.

"I tried to call him in those days of chaos, but he never answered me, the same he did with my other teammates.

“I was disappointed. But ok, well, it’s his choice,” he told Gazzetta.

Just a year and a half ago Lukaku had said this about his Inter teammate when he was desperate to return to Milan:

"I miss Lautaro Martinez, I could die on the pitch for him since day one I met him.

"Lautaro Martinez coming here with me at Chelsea in the future? No... Lautaro, you can stay in Milan, I'll be back there (laughs)."

Juventus are currently trying to convince Chelsea to let Lukaku join them on loan but the Blues remain adamant that they want to get rid of the striker permanently.
