Lukaku Was Wrong To Leave Chelsea, Says Moreno

Published

on

Former LA Galaxy forward, Alejandro Moreno, has questioned Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku’s decision to leave Stamford Bridge over the summer transfer window.

Recall that Lukaku left Chelsea to join AS Roma on loan for the 2023/24 season.

The 30-year-old arrived at Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2021/22 season from Inter Milan for £97.5 million for his second stint with Chelsea.


But things have totally gone wrong for the Belgium international, as he was not included in Mauricio Pochettino’s plans for this season.

As a result, he was loaned to Roma to join his former manager Jose Mourinho.

However, Moreno feels Lukaku made the wrong decision for leaving Chelsea to join the Serie A side.

“It just feels like his career could’ve been so much more, and we just find now reasons to talk about him because of failures, not because of achievements,” Moreno told ESPN FC (via Football365).

“And whether he is the biggest loser in the transfer window or not, I don’t know, but what we do know is that he has not landed in the best spot and again, this doesn’t make us think of him as trending in the right direction.”
