Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Former Inter Milan striker, Antonio Cassano, has questioned Romelu Lukaku\u2019s motives for wanting to return to Chelsea, a club he claimed showed him lack of respect during his time at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

Lukaku has resurrected his career in Serie A, leading Inter Milan\u2019s attack during last season\u2019s title-winning campaign under Antonio Conte.<\/p>\n

The Belgium international had previously been deemed surplus to requirements by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Manchester United, having previously failed to make the grade at Chelsea under Jose Mourinho.<\/p>\n

However, Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel\u2019s eagerness to add a prolific striker to his attack line has led Chelsea to make a bid for their former player, Lukaku.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, after several unsuccessful attempts, Chelsea now looks poised to conclude a deal with an offer of \u00a3110million for Lukaku.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the development, Cassano asked Lukaku if his motive for wanting a return to Chelsea was for money.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf this is really how much they [Chelsea] are offering, I would take him [Lukaku] there personally,\u201d Cassano said on Twitch.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving said that, I want to figure out what is going on here. He had two really bad experiences in England, one decent one with Everton, and he wants to go back there [to Chelsea].<\/p>\n

\u201cI have to ask myself, why go back to a club that didn\u2019t appreciate you? Is it for money?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
