Last summer, Romelu Lukaku, who moved from "Manchester United" to Milan's "Inter", revealed that he could have ended up in another Italian club. Giving an interview to Ian Wright, the Belgian revealed that Turin's "Juventus" was also interested in his services, but Antonio Conte was the factor that determined the footballer's decision. "I was very close to moving to 'Juventus', but I always knew that I wanted to work with Antonio Conte and play for 'Inter'. When I was a kid, 'Inter' was my favorite team in Italy. When I received an offer from 'Inter' and the coach, who wanted me when he was coaching 'Chelsea' and 'Juventus', I realized it was time to leave," Lukaku said.
The forward also admitted that "Man Utd" manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wanted to keep him in Manchester, but did not resist when he heard the player's request. "Last season was really not good for me, but it can happen to anyone. You know what was going on behind the scenes. Everything was done. The decision was difficult. I had to decide where I could best realize myself. I also wanted to work with a coach who really wanted me in his ranks. Solskjaer wanted me to stay, but I told him it was time to finish everything. I want to show him respect because he acted like a man and helped me close the deal," added the "Inter" forward. R. Lukaku has played 35 matches for the Milan team this season, scoring 23 goals.
