Romelu Lukaku: Fans React as Belgian Reportedly Receives Lucrative Offer from Al Hilal

• Football fans all had the same thing to say after stunning reports linked Romelu Lukaku to Al-Hilal
• The Belgian is still recovering from Champions League heartbreak after Inter Milan lost 1-0 to Manchester City on Saturday, June 10
• He is now being linked with a move to Al-Hilal, who are direct rivals of Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr

Romelu Lukaku has been urged to take a multi-million deal to move to Saudi Arabia, days after suffering Champions League heartbreak.

Lukaku, now 30, has reportedly been handed a mega-money offer by Saudi Arabia giants Al-Hilal to make the switch from Inter Milan.

If the rumours prove to be true and Lukaku moves to the Middle East, he would become the latest big name to move to Asia after the likes of Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Lukaku spent the most recent season on loan at Inter Milan, where he helped the club reach the Champions League final.

However, things did not go according to plan in Istanbul on Saturday, as Inter suffered a 1-0 defeat to Manchester City, who secured the treble under Pep Guardiola.

As reported by The Mirror, Lukaku came under fire after the game for his performance and missed chances in the final, which ultimately plunged his future into further doubt.

Lukaku to Saudi?

According to a report by Foot Mercato, Lukaku took a flight to Saudi Arabia on Monday, June 12, amid an offer of €25million (£21.5m) per season from Al-Hilal.

The Saudi club, which is based in the capital Riyadh, is reportedly looking for a big name as a replacement for Lionel Messi, who they failed to sign after the Argentine decided to move to the Major League Soccer (MLS).

As soon as the reports emerged on social media, fans were quick to react by urging Lukaku to “take the money”.

Saudi Arabia clubs have shown a willingness to break their banks in recent years in order to sign big names in football, perhaps in a bid to improve the league’s ratings in world football.

@SirObedd said:

“Just take the deal if I were him. Finished already.”

While @Ssohard added:

“He should grab this deal . He ain’t getting better deal than this”

@TeemoTheel said:

“He should consider taking it because its good money for two years and i really doubt Inter is keeping him plus Chelsea moved on.”

Lukaku slammed by fans

Sports Brief also reported on how Lukaku was slammed by fans for his performances in the Champions League final.

The striker, who is on loan from Chelsea, replaced Edin Dzeko and looked a threat at times, but dragged a shot well wide late on when he would have been better off passing in front of goal.

Inter are expected to try and extend the Belgium international's stay at the San Siro after he scored 77 goals for the club across two spells, but fans seem less keen after Saturday's performance.
