J.Mourinho: R.Lukaku lacked motivation to prove his worth at "Chelsea" club

Jose Mourinho revealed why he decided to say goodbye to forward Romelu Lukaku.

Let's remind that yesterday it was officially announced that the 21-year-old Belgian is moving to Liverpool's "Everton" team for £28 million.

According to the Portuguese, the young player simply lacked motivation to prove his worth in the "Blues" team.

"Romelu always showed his attitude and mentality that he didn't have much desire to fight for his place at Chelsea.

He wanted to represent the team, but to be only the main striker, while we could not promise him that role.

This automatically reduced the Belgian's desire to stay in the team and then we received a special offer from Everton.

We want to comply with UEFA financial regulations and always carefully analyze similar situations," Mourinho clarified the motives for the sale.
