Romelu Lukaku Courts Controversy with Subtle Message About 'Cutting Ties'

• Lukaku was subjected to vile criticism from Chelsea fans for a message he shared on social media
• The Belgian shared a message about moving on, and Chelsea fans instantly connected the dots
• Inter Milan re-signed the striker on loan, less than a year after Chelsea paid £97.5million to get him back to Stamford Bridge

Romelu Lukaku recently angered Chelsea fans with a subtle message that was interpreted as a dig at his former club.

The Belgian recently completed a move back to Inter, albeit on loan, to put an end to a miserable return to Stamford Bridge last year.

Inter paid a £10m loan fee for Lukaku, which ultimately made him the most expensive player when adding up all of his combined moves.

To be fair, neither party is discontent with Lukaku’s return to Italy, although Chelsea might feel a bit hard done by after coughing up £97.5million for the striker less than a year ago.

In his debut campaign, Lukaku managed just eight Premier League goals in 26 appearances, with Thomas Tuchel at times preferring Kai Havertz as a false 9 upfront.

Days after the Inter move and Lukaku has been very active on social media, making the strong point that he is happier in Italy than at Stamford Bridge.

The former Manchester United man was at it again on Thursday, July 7, with a subtle message on social media, which was interpreted as a dig toward Chelsea football club.

I'ma probably show you I'm solid first and if the energy ain't right. I'ma show you how easy it is to cut ties, no more tries. Gone.” Lukaku’s message read.

Chelsea fans’ reaction

As expected, a large number of Blues fans did not take the caption lightly, and they retorted with clap backs of their own.

“Chelsea cut ties with you not the other way around, you'd be training with the under 23s the entire season if they weren't generous,” one fans said.

“First of all you need to improve on your first touch and ball control skill,” another added.

“It's better you keep quiet and focus on your game.” Said another fan.
