Last summer, Romelu Lukaku, returning to London's "Chelsea", could have arrived in England a year earlier. Belgian agent Federico Pastorello revealed that the striker's services were actively sought after by "Manchester City" in the summer of 2020. "I think now I can say without harming anyone that 'City' tried to buy Lukaku a year earlier. At that time, it was difficult to negotiate due to the pandemic situation, but at the beginning 'City' was determined. However, later they changed their minds or simply were not ready for such a move," Lukaku's agent told "The Telegraph".
