According to the Italian media, Lukaku has not made another offer move from the Saudi team so far after rejecting Hilal. Meanwhile, due to the tense relationship with Inter, the negotiation of his transfer to Zuji has also reached a deadlock, and it seems that he can only sit silently on Chelsea's bench in the new season.
La Gazzetta dello Sport revealed that Lukaku had shuttled between Inter, Zuji and Hiral in the summer, and that he had quietly contacted Zuji during his negotiations with Inter, a move that angered Inter. Zuji offered Chelsea a pay rise for Lukaku in exchange for Dusinhoovic, but the two sides did not reach an agreement. As for Hilal, who had lured Lukaku with a lucrative offer of 50 million euros (HK$425 million) for two years, the Saudi side never threw in the towel after he politely declined.
