Last summer, the striker Romelu Lukaku, who belongs to the London team "Chelsea", had the opportunity to join a group of famous players who decided to go to the league in Saudi Arabia.

However, the Belgian made the opposite decision and went on loan to the "Roma" team.

So far, the athlete in Italy has been demonstrating excellent results and has scored 5 goals in the Serie A matches.

According to R. Lukaku, he was not willing to sacrifice high-level football for the opportunity to significantly increase his bank account.

"I am proud to have received such an invitation, but after preliminary talks, I was not ready to join the 'Al Hilal' team.

It is the largest club in the Middle East, and the Saudi Arabian league is becoming one of the strongest in the world, but I was not ready to leave Europe."
