Despite a promising start, the move quickly turned sour once Lukaku conducted his now-infamous interview and confessed his love for Inter Milan.<\/p>\n<p>After the Belgian contracted Covid-19, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/06\/17\/thomas-tuchel-chelsea-robert-lewandowski\/\" target=\"_self\">Thomas Tuchel<\/a> was reluctant to play his \u00a3100 million man, and Lukaku expressed his dissatisfaction with this during the interview. The interview was the beginning of the end of Lukaku&#8217;s 2nd spell at Stamford Bridge, as he openly criticised Tuchel and expressed his desire to return to Italy &#8220;in the near future&#8221;.<\/p>\n<h3>What Went Wrong for Lukaku<\/h3>\n<p>Following the interview, the rest of the season was filled with criticism and missed chances for Chelsea&#8217;s \u00a397.5 million striker.<\/p>\n<p>While in <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/03\/28\/roberto-mancini-hints-he-will-stay-on-as-italy-manager\/\" target=\"_self\">Italy<\/a>, Lukaku was in scintillating form, his movement was sharp, and he was lethal in front of goal which convinced the Chelsea hierarchy to splash out a club-record fee. These assets deserted him during his 2nd spell at Stamford Bridge. His attitude was widely criticised, as was his work rate in general.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/06\/18\/chelsea-romelu-lukaku-armando-broja\/\" target=\"_self\">Chelsea Can Find Their Romelu Lukaku Replacement in Young Wonderkid<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Despite losing a massive amount of money on this deal, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/05\/25\/thomas-tuchel-todd-boehly-chelsea-era-begins\/\" target=\"_self\">Todd Boehly<\/a> decided to facilitate Lukaku&#8217;s loan back to Italy after Thomas Tuchel signed off on the transfer. One positive of this mess is that Boelhy is clearly backing Tuchel, which shows they have belief in the German manager. With Chelsea prepared to cut their losses on Lukaku, it shows how strained relations are between the Blues&#8217; manager and the Belgian striker after he criticised the boss in public.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Work in progress for Romelu Lukaku&#39;s comeback to Inter.
