Man City tried to sign Lukaku last year before Chelsea move, his agent reveals

Romelu Lukaku’s agent, Federico Pastorello has revealed that Manchester City tried signing the Belgian goal-scoring machine last year.

The former Inter Milan man made a surprise switch from Inter Milan to Chelsea in a massive £98million Stamford Bridge move.

According to the agent, Manchester City had Lukaku in their plan in preparation for Sergio Aguero’s departure.

In his words:

‘I think I can say without disappointing anybody that Manchester City came in the year before,’ Pastorello told Telegraph Sport in a rare interview.

‘During the pandemic, it was very complicated because of trying to fly to places to meet people. It started very concrete and very serious, but eventually they changed their idea or they were not ready to make it happen.

‘Honestly, it was very difficult after the first year – it was almost impossible. He hadn’t won the league with Inter and he wanted to do that, and it would have been really impossible. Then they [City] focussed on Harry Kane this summer.’Information Guide Nigeria

On Lukaku’s move to Chelsea, he said:

‘This is what I was telling Romelu, that it could be now or never because probably he was not realising it 100 per cent at first,’ Pastorello added.

‘I had to tell him to remember that sometimes there are trains and when they pass, they don’t come back. Because of the situation, because of the market, and because there were not many possibilities, this was Romelu’s train.

‘We had the opportunity to be in the right place at the right moment and I told him that if he wanted to come back, he needed to take it now.

‘Chelsea were 100 per cent sure that he was the one, I never had doubts, but I think they needed to think twice before doing it.

‘There were more offers before they got to the level Inter accepted. There were four offers and the fifth was the one that closed the talks. Looking back, I think everyone got a really good deal.’JAMB Result
