Juventus fans sent "shocking" messages against Belgian Romelu Lukaku, Chelsea's striker, during a friendly match for the Old Lady. The Juventus first team played a friendly against the club's youth team at the Allianz Stadium, with significant crowd attendance. According to "Football Italia," Juventus supporters chanted throughout the match: "We don't want Lukaku," before storming the pitch.
This recent action by the fans is part of a campaign that started weeks ago, beginning with a banner opposing his arrival, in addition to online campaigns led by fans on social media.
Lukaku, the former Inter Milan striker, is close to transferring to Juventus from Chelsea, having already agreed to personal terms with the Bianconeri as part of a swap deal that would see Dusan Vlahovic, the Juventus striker, move to Chelsea. Lukaku is expected to sign a three-year deal, with an option for an additional year.
In response to a video of Lukaku with an Inter Milan supporter, where the fan urged Lukaku not to say "long live Juve" if he transferred to Juventus during this summer's transfer window, Lukaku replied: "No, never." If Lukaku makes the move to Juventus this summer, he may face hostile reception from fans, who also protested against his potential arrival last month.
