Inter striker Romelu Lukaku has claimed that he is yet to and will never forgive Andres Villas-Boas for the way he treated him whilst he was at Premier League club Chelsea.

“Villas-Boas took a lot away from me and I will never forgive him for that,” the Belgian national team striker remarked in an interview with Belgian news outlet Het Laatste Nieuws.

“Villas-Boas was under pressure but he didn’t have to treat me like that. Di Matteo approached me completely differently, he immediately involved me in everything. That should have been much earlier. Really, I never forgave the previous manager.”

Despite being with Chelsea when they won the Champions League in the 2011/12 season, the former West Bromwich Albion striker went on to insist that he does not count it amongst his honours.

“Di Matteo told me that I would stay with the group until after the final. He thought everyone should come along, including the ones who were suspended and the few boys who were not in the Champions League squad. I am also grateful to him for that.

“This win is one of the things I’ve always dreamed about. You want to celebrate something like that with the team at that time. I didn’t touch it with a finger because I didn’t win this trophy myself.

“This has been the case since I was eleven: if I have not contributed anything, it is not my trophy. Only if you have contributed to a cup or a title yourself, you can also show it off.”

Lukaku joined Inter this past Summer in a club record €65 million transfer deal from Manchester United and has been in sensational form in his first year representing the Nerazzurri club.

The 27-year-old striker, who has a contract with Inter until the end of the 2023/24 season, has made a total of 35 appearances across all competitions to date this term, in which he has scored 23 goals and provided five assists for his teammates.

The Regional Commission for Cultural Heritage of Lombardy have ruled that San Siro has no cultural interest according to a report in today’s print edition of Italian daily newspaper La Repubblica.

The commission have made their decision on the basis that as a result of a series of renovations to the stadium, very little of the stadium, which was built back in 1926 actually remains.

This ruling will now pave the way for Inter and AC Milan, who have laid out plans to build a new state of the art stadium, to come to an agreement with the Milan City Council over the new stadium project which will also see the surrounding area given a completely new lease of life.

Part of San Siro will remain and be incorporated into the Nerazzurri and Rossoneri new stadium project which will feature a lot of green space, hotels, restaurants and other things that will keep the area busy when there is no football being played.

Eddie Salcedo could be part of Inter’s first team squad next season according to a report from Italian news outlet FCInterNews.it.

Salcedo is currently out on loan at fellow Serie A side Hellas Verona but rather than be loaned out again next season, Inter manager Antonio Conte is considering the possibility of keeping him around to avoid a repeat of this season, where he was caught short during the months of October and January when injuries piled up.

The odds of Salcedo sticking around next season have increased after Inter missed out on the possible signing of Dries Mertens and Conte has been monitoring the Italian youth national team player’s progress.

Salcedo could in fact take the place of Sebastiano Esposito in the squad, who Inter intend to loan out to gain more first team experience next season.

Whilst out on loan at Hellas Verona, the 18-year-old has made 10 appearances across all competitions to date, in which he has scored a single goal.

The agent of Parma goalkeeper Luigi Sepe, Mario Giuffredi, has shared his belief that his client is now ready to play for a top club.

The 29-year-old, who is a graduate of Napoli’s academy, has had few chances to impress at Napoli but has truly impressed whilst with the Ducali club, who he joined in a two year loan deal in the Summer of 2018 with an obligation to buy him this Summer.

Ahead of the upcoming Summer transfer window, Sepe has been linked with a few other clubs including Inter, who have reportedly identified him as a candidate to initially serve as understudy to current number one goalkeeper Samir Handanovic and then succeed him in the future.

“I rate him highly and I have always said that since I became his agent. He is ready to play in a great team. This year he was one of the top five goalkeepers in Italy,” Giuffredi remarked in an interview with Italian radio station Radio Punto Nuovo earlier on today.

This season Sepe, who has also had loan spells with Empoli and Pisa, has made 22 appearances across all competitions to date, in which he has conceded 28 goals and kept a total of five clean sheets.

Mauro Icardi has told Paris Saint Germain sporting director and former Inter manager Leonardo of his desire to stay in the French capital according to a report from the online edition of Italian daily newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport.

Inter management are hopeful that Paris Saint Germain will take up the option to sign the former Sampdoria player, who has performed well whilst in the French capital city.

Icardi has made 30 appearances across all competitions to date this season, in which he has scored 20 goals and has provided five assists for his teammates.

With Edinson Cavani set to leave Paris Saint Germain, the Ligue 1 club have set their sights on Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang according to a report from the online edition of French news outlet Le10Sports.com.

The Gabonese striker has just a year left on his current deal with the Premier League side and could be the man they bring in to replace Cavani, whose contract with the club expires at the end of next month.

Aubameyang has also drawn serious interest from Barcelona whilst his salary demands are an obstacle for Inter, who have also shown an interest.

The former Borussia Dortmund striker could be available for a fee in the region of €40-50 million which makes him further attractive to Paris Saint Germain.

The report goes on to explain that signing a new striker is a priority for the management at Paris Saint Germain and although they have an option to sign on loan striker Mauro Icardi from Inter, they have still yet to do so.

KRC Genk and Canada national team sensation Jonathan David has admitted to being surprised by the interest of several top clubs in him this early on into his career.

The youngster has been in sensational form for the Belgian Pro League outfit this season and reportedly has interest in his services from the likes of Premier League club Arsenal, Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig and Inter among others.

“I never knew big clubs would be interested in me so early. It’s overwhelming, but I think I can make the next step,” he admitted in a video interview with British broadcaster Sky Sports.

“It’s time for me to move and go somewhere where I can keep developing and get to the potential that I have. The league that would suit me the most right now is the Bundesliga.

“It’s similar to the Belgian league in terms of the tempo and the physicality, but obviously the quality is higher in Germany and there is more competition.”

The attacking midfielder, who turned 20-years-old a few months back, is under contract with his current employers until the end of the 2022/23 season and KRC Genk’s sporting director Michel Louwagie has said they will not let him depart for anything less than €25 million.

This season David has made 40 appearances across all competitions to date. In 3260 minutes on the field, David has scored 23 goals and has provided a total of 10 assists for his teammates.

RB Leipzig striker Yussuf Poulsen has shared his hope that teammate Timo Werner will remain with the club amid intense speculation in the media in relation to his future.

The highly rated 24-year-old striker has been heavily linked with a move to Champions League holders Liverpool for some time now and Inter have also reportedly identified him as a potential replacement for Lautaro Martinez, who continues to be linked with a possible Summer transfer window switch to Barcelona.

“It’s not about me and it’s not a club’s decision. It’s his decision. If you ask him, you will get a better answer,” Poulsen remarked in an interview with Stats Perform News, as reported by FCInterNews.it.

“I can only say that I hope he will stay so we can keep scoring goals together next season. If that’s not the case, then we have to accept. I would still wish him all the best for his future.

“Of course, he is an important player for the team – not only as a player but as a personality as well. He really fits in.

“That’s why we can only hope that he stays, but we are not the decision makers here. He for himself has to figure out what he wants.”

Werner has a variable release clause in his contract with Energy drink Red Bull backed RB Leipzig. If RB Leipzig win the Bundesliga it will be €60 million but if they fail to do so his release clause will be €50 million instead.

Werner, who has been one of the most prolific goalscorers in recent seasons, has starred once again this season with him having scored 27 goals in 37 appearances across all competitions to date.

Inter and Torino could perform a swap deal involving Roberto Gagliardini and Armando Izzo in the upcoming Summer transfer window according to a report in today’s print edition of Italian daily newspaper Tuttosport.

New Torino director Davide Vagnati wants to rebuild the Granata’s midfield over the course of the coming months and former Atalanta player Gagliardini is one of a number of transfer targets for him.

Gagliardini joined Inter on an initial six month loan deal in January 2017 and was then purchased outright at the end of the deal.

The Italian made a promising start to life at Inter but has found himself in and out of the team under present manager Antonio Conte and would slide further down the pecking order if he is to remain with Inter targeting midfield reinforcements.

This season the 26-year-old has made 16 appearances across all competitions to date, in which he has scored two goals and provided as many assists.
