Romelu Lukaku has returned to Chelsea, a club that has rejected him before, and according to some sources preferred Erling Haaland to the Belgian.
So why, and how did Lukaku move to Chelsea? And why Lukaku isn’t Chelsea’s second choice.

#CFC #Lukaku #Chelsea
Chelsea: say man , wanna come back.
Lukaku: aight bet
That’s how he was signed.
Lool
Streets won’t forget Lukaku with dreads
Taututrcytuttouzz tttt tt je je viens juste pour me me
Broke days
At West Brom.
@@TheRadYT no Everton
@@IsaacIsDead1 both.
I see your artists have improved their Granovskia illustrations
Just a simple answer for this:
"I’m Gonna Make Him An Offer He Can’t Refuse.”
Inter is on the verge of going bust, any offer would have been an offer they can't refuse.
Lol I mean they refused three of our offers
I know it's only three matches into the new season, but I wonder what a Tifo video on the last time Arsenal was relegated would look like. My understanding is that it's been 100+ years since the last time Arsenal fell into the second tier, and what that relegated side looked like and the circumstances behind it. My appetite was definitely whetted when Tifo did one on Man United.
We’ve never been in the second tier since our creation. Started at the top, still at the top.
@@hugocf6394 yup it helps out when you bribe people to stay in
@@Eagles2020 ?
Have they ever not been in the first division? I feel like that’s always the invisible trophy Arsenal fans hold up since they don’t have a European title to show
@@dynamics5960 we’ve never been relegated below the top league. 1st division which became the Prem has always contained Arsenal
I’ve always thought he was brilliant, his season at the Albion was the best season in the prem we’ve ever had I was gutted when Everton got him the next season instead of us
i can't believe how lean he is and powerful too also we finaaly have a striker who asks for the ball inside the box instead of running wide
Inter made lukaku a monster not just a player , no one expected he could leave but he did.
Inter always haven't problems in this position , lukaku came as icardi's replacement ( top 10 goalscorer in inter history) and now inter replaced lukaku with Dzeko and Correa and starting well.
Poor Inter lost Conte, Eriksen, Hakimi and Lukaku; they're surely not retaining the Scudetto, surprised Lautaro Martinez is staying.
None of their competitors got better so inter are still favourites
They are still favourites alongside Juventus,have bought in good replacements in inzaghi,Dumfries,Correa and dzeko and have started very well in serie A so they can win the scudetto
@@nathandebono6551 dzeko is not it, dumfries is a step down, I don't see these players as difference-makers
Was their choice to sell Hakimi and Lukaku because they wanted the money lmao why do you feel bad for them? The only sad one out of that list is Eriksen because he should still be able to play football.
Edit:
And it is also their fault they lost Conte because they weren’t going to back him (Money)
It is Serie A so anything can happen. Most big stars have left the league.
This is one of the few channels I watch the ads all the way through for. And I'm a very impatient person.
Ha you don’t have to watch them all the way, they make equal money regardless
Lol....we are twin brothers
@@nadadur Really?
@@davidmoore1789 Well i always assumed so, if the advertiser paid less than they got a skippable ad
@@davidmoore1789 Hmm, after some research it appears that the advertiser only pays the creator after a certain time has passed (10s or so), and if the ad is skipped before then, the advertiser only pays UA-cam who then split the money with the creator.
So i guess theoretically the creator may make a bit more by viewers not skipping the ad earlier
few years later, Tammy Abraham returns to Chelsea for $80 millions
There's a buy back for £68 million which activates in 2023.
No he’s no where near lukaku level
@@pauliewalnuts5803 Yet. Lukaku was nowhere near Lukaku level 8 years ago.
@@neilcreamer8207 but at least I could see the potential I am not seeing it with Abraham
@@neilcreamer8207 who told you that?😂 He was crushing it with Anderlecht and played ucl group stages with them...he just got 10 games at Chelsea and after that he crushed it in west Brom and Everton...tammy is nowhere near that level
Lukaku is the best option other than Haaland. I would prefer Lukaku over Kane, Lewandowski, etc because he fits so perfectly for us. His strength, combination play reminds a lot of Drogba. 2 games so far but I would like to see how he links with Timo
Lukakau ? That Judas who joined United and constantly remembered what a better club than Chelsea and what better fans it has
@@elkoma1080 well, you don't expect him to Trashtalk his employer don't you?
@@michaelgiovanni9533 No. I'm only expect for him to respect his former club and the fans who supported him and also not to rejoice after scoring a goal against us as if he had won the champions league final if he is so identified with us.
@@michaelgiovanni9533 Plus he could have said it in words that didn't offend our club while praising Manchester United. Unless you like someone spitting in your face then that's another matter. I don't remember Terry or Lampard or even Ronaldo harassing their former club.
Oke 😂
The power of Marina
the banner is nicer than expected it did wish him luck
This seriously didn’t age well.
Today Inter agreed a loan deal for Lukaku and he’ll get paid 8M for the year. Came to Chelsea as Lukaku, left as Lakaka
Funny that youtube recommends me this video now, after *that* interview.
Good to see Marina got a new illustration
The good thing is that Chelsea inserted a buy back option in Tammy Abraham move to Roma. Incase he should develop, they won't have to break the bank to sign him back
well its still 80m, double the amount we got so its still kinda breaking the bank 😂
@@mattstar3974 it is not considering how the transfer market is going. If Chelsea have sold him off completely, and he develops to a superstar striker. They will have to sign him for a marquee fee.
@@mattstar3974 €80m or £68m. If he develops into the kind of striker that's good enough to win you the Premier League, it will be a good deal for Chelsea. If he doesn't, then we've done good business getting €40m for a player that clearly wasn't in Tuchel's plans.
@@mattstar3974 68 million pounds for a developed Tammy going in Lukaku's level is bargain lol..what are you on?😂... although I don't think tammy would ever reach that level and we need to buy him back... especially when Lukaku is staying here for at least 5 years
This aged well
Two words. Marina. Granovskaia.
The genius herself
Two words. Oil. Money.
@@josedanielcallejassandoval2964 mate they paid it all off with sales... Do some research before being salty
@@josedanielcallejassandoval2964 they won champions league, that's a lot of money on prizes
@@kohchungwei and said transfers came from oil money. If PSG sold Mbappe the transfer fee came from oil money.
With the defense that chelsea possess + with lukaku upfront, they are a team to be scared of.
Don't forget about the great passers in midfield and the absurdly fast wingers they have.
And 2 of the 3 best midfielders in europe (i would also say in the world)
@@fernandocillo8905 Kante and Jorginho?
This one aged well !!!
@@miscellaneous69420 😂😂
One of the best strikers in the current times. A lethal left footed.
And now Lukaku has a lot of regrets
Animations keep getting better and better .... Keep it up.
Good Video exept the last part about conte. Conte leaving Inter was actually another factor in lukaku leaving. They had a very good relationship.
Still waiting "How To Fix Arsenal" series season 1 of 4 from Tifo.
regarding how long Arsenal has been in rebuilding phase, I think they're already in season 12.
Lmaaaaoooo warra tenure for Lukaka
“I was only going to leave Inter Milan for Chelsea,” “Kids love Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United. And Chelsea for me, everyone knows what Chelsea means to me. - Romelu Lukaku is 🔵 through and through.
Lukaku is probably a more rounded, better version of Haaland. More experienced too. I think clubs thought Lukaku was unattainable until Inter announced their severe financial troubles.
Lukaku cant even head the ball.
No way is he better than Haaland or Lewa.
better version of haaland???
Well this didn't age well
This aged about as well as expected
Some plastic Chelsea fans wanted Haaland before Lukaku xame and they were dissing him also I saw it
Lukaku will defintely win the EPL golden boot either him or Salah just come back to this comment 👍
😆kane and son play golf
Kane literally had top assist and top goals 😆😆😆😆😆😆
How many fans are there in world football who wouldn't want Haaland though?
You think he’ll score more than Ronaldo? Even though Ronaldo outscored him in Serie A?
@@Ryan-hn1it yh
So? What's your point
@@kingdj2451 ronaldo will outscore him. He did it before and he'll do it again.
THEY offered money and inter accepted
I remember him playing at West Brom in 2013, always thought he was an excellent player. I could never understand why Chelsea kept putting him out on loan
It’s what made me subscribe tbh great insight
But, he quite hasn't delivered.
I'm not sure why.
The Thumbnail looks like Meek Mill lol... Another great video 🙏🏿
He is back home 💙
Lukaku is nothing short than a beast the disrespect from some is baffling
Please make a video on why wolves have so many Portuguese signings
As a Chelsea fan I am now extremely glad that the deal with Alonso did not go through, he has been stellar.
They offered inter a thing called money and they accepted
Fc barcelona
Depay - save us from perdition !
I gave you some slack during the euros for the lack of chelsea content and wanted to apologise.. This channel and Tifo IRL have improved a lot since then and is still my favourite football wise on youtube. Big up the team
This video didn’t age well.
Watching this now like lol
seems similar to the triangle trade of
Mkhitarian, Aubameyang, and Batshuayi
Lukaku,Dzeko, and Abraham
Good to see the Inter fans are taking this calmly and without drama...
😹
If only Rom wasn't so arrogant. His season at Inter didn't help that either.
JOE is back baybayyyy xD

They will win the League (championship)💪
the m25 won’t forget lukaku’s touch
The airport runway won’t either
I like how during Pogba's return to United, the club was being ridiculed for paying 90 million euros and now with chelsea the narrative is that paying 97 million was the "right kind of message".
wah wah wah
At that time players weren't going for 100million+ and Pogba was the most expensive transfer of all time when he was signed, he performed quite good for Juve but he so much money on him wasn't justified whereas Lukaku had 2 of the best seasons a striker would want, and he has also proved himself in the pl, so there's the difference
@@anubhav111196 ??? Pogba was on FiFA's Team of the Season a year before he joined Man Utd?
@@umangbharali3857 That's the only point you've got to justify his 90 million tag, you can have a really great season, doesn't mean a world record fees is required to buy him, Douglas Costa was on that list too, so he was worth 50-60 million now? Juventus made an unbelievable profit on Pogba, Manchester United had the money so they spent it, but is he worth it, I don't think so
we're feasting this season
Can you Do video about inter Milan video
Lukaku is like a Belgian version of Brazilian Ronaldo. Stocky, Strong, Heavy and Fast Af with precision scoring. Just what Chelsea needs. Sure he may not be Ronaldo, but he reminds me of him out of most players today in terms of his skill and quality.
Nothing alike
Such blasphemy!!!! Wash your mouth, son.
Lmao don't ever put Lukaku & R9 in the same sentence again.
I can't stop thinking that he is what balotelli could have been if balotelli had a few more brain cells
"Like one of us".
Till his form drops then he'll just be another black player in Italy. We all know how that goes.
Man i get italy has racism problems but we really loved him so much.
We werent excepting this from him especially how he handled it, not even a goodbye he just fled without a statement that's not a social media post.
Obviously the murals around the city got covered, he didnt treat the fans as fairly as we did.
He had some games where his form dropped and the consensus was that even without being at his best he was key.
Easy disregarding all of this with "Italians are racist", totally ignorant of the history of Inter
Lukaku scored the owngoal in the 2019-20 Europa League Final that made Siviglia won the cup
Lukaku blocked a shot on target at the 90th minutes of Inter - Shakhtar Donetsk, and Inter said goodbye to the 2020-21 UCL
No "buu", no "n-words", just sadness and anger...
... and now, let's talk about Rashford, Saka and Sancho after the Euro Final penalties and the reaction from their "definitely not racist" english fans.
Italy is no different from the rest of the Europe, cos morons are everywhere
@@DanielGiuseppeDiNiro Beautifully put. Nice
With moneeeeyyyy (Mr. Krabs voice)
🤣
You do know we made 100 million+ from sales this summer. Tammy, Tomori and Zouma alone made us back the Lukaku money and then some.
@@areebsiddiqui758 yeah I know they're lining up other sales like Zouma too so I'm not worried. I'm just saying they bought him with money 🤷 since the title is how did they sign Lukaku that's how with money
@@luisvalenzuela7673 But that's just dumb. You can't buy anything without money.
@@areebsiddiqui758 I mean at least I didn't take 5 minutes to explain how they did it 🤷💙💙💙go Blues😎
answer : by spending almost £100M and £350K a week in salary
still cheaper than Jack Grealish
Thanks Inter. But China.... it is what it is.
Harry Kane isnt something that suits chelsea's philosophy. Well, Tuchel could fit him in, but it would change the whole team. Lukaku would let most of the team do their thing and still be solid.
If he was sold first before Hakimi, i wonder if Hakimi is going to get all the flak?
Chelsea's fan since his childhood,that's why and helping with striker problems,what part do you not understand
With money 💰
Make a video about inter
Abraham has a buyback clause.
Joe should sign with Athletic as a journalist.
Flopped at MU and will flops at Chelsea. He made a mistake to came to EPL.
After Lukaku's last interview, we now know that Inter refused three offers from Chelsea and accepted the fourth just because Lukaku pushed for the transfer. So, as also Pastorello said, unlike the Hakimi transfer, this didn't happen for financial issues
He could talk about love for Chelsea, but we all know that the real reason is that they offered double the salary he was taken at Inter.
What are your opinion on Chelsea
By breaching financial fair play
How about a video on how man utd re-signed cr7?
Apparently they had to take him off tour with The Blue Man Group
I like this guy not other guy with the table. I can't take him seriously I'm sorry.
it should be a boxing match adama traore vs lukaku
Isn't there a good chance Lukaku would be taking a pay-cut in this move when u factor in taxes?
Thank god Marina wasn't done dirty with those illustrations
He's always been over rated. The contingency for not having a cat in hells chance of getting Haaland.
Ronald next
With money of course!
Video on cr7 please
why are inter fans angry?if inter decides not to sell,what can lukaku do
From an Inter fan: we are told from the news that it was lukaku indeed to push for this transfer in the first place. That was after he told that he loved Inter and the city of Milan and that he was excited for the upcoming season, just one month and a half ago.
@@bio17 i see
@@bio17 Your manager who won you Serie A left and you sold one of your best players in Hakimi and barely spent any money improving the squad. You probably won't win anything this season. And Chelsea are the European Champions with one of the best managers and squads in the world right now. You can't just say it was about the money. We offer him a much better chance to win trophies than Inter Milan. Not to mention that he grew up idolizing Didier Drogba and has always wanted to return to Chelsea.
@@areebsiddiqui758 I know all you say is right, except we can win the Italian championship again and the national cup. I was only explaining why many inter fans are disappointed from Lukaku's behaviour. Personally I'm not, because I saw stronger players leaving my team like Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic and I know that all players are professionals looking for what's better for them.
@@areebsiddiqui758 and by the way, I hope Lukaku will score lots of goals against Juventus in Champions League

Tifo should consider doing videos on women’s soccer as well.
No disrespect but women football isn't as popular as men's football it does not get good views
@@abdosherif5477 Should do for popular clubs women team anyway. Clubs official account posts it and it gets plenty of views.
They got the money
Nice
£110M is too good to turn down.
why does he look like Meek Mill in the thumbnail
Barcelona the life without messi
If Man City buy no striker then Lukaku will be the difference between the teams, and Man United have unbalanced their team with adding a great 36-year-old to their ranks. Liverpool will be Chelsea's closest rivals this year.
Well apparently adding a proven goal scorer will unbalanced the team. Ok.
Lukaku 🐃

He's going to be absolutely insane for us. I'm predicting 30+ goals this season. He's elite.
