Lukaku made a return to England on Tuesday as Belgium played out a 2-2 draw with the Three Lions in an international friendly. The striker impressed spectators with a remarkable outside-of-the-boot cross that led to Youri Tielemans scoring, serving as a reminder of his remarkable abilities. Following the match, Lukaku faced the media, encountering a moment of discomfort when questioned about his intentions to make an impression on his return to England.

In response, Lukaku remarked, “I don’t know. You’ll have to ask Chelsea.”

Additionally, the striker expressed disappointment at his team’s draw, particularly conceding a stoppage-time equalizer to Jude Bellingham. “‘Yeah, this is football at the end of the day,” he commented. “It’s not over until the referee blows his whistle. You have to continue, this is a team in progress. We did an okay performance today.”

Currently on loan at Roma, Lukaku has netted 18 goals across various competitions for the Serie A outfit. His loan agreement doesn’t include a purchase option, indicating his impending return to Chelsea in the summer. Although Chelsea seems to require a striker, it’s improbable that Lukaku will continue with the Premier League side, sparking rumors of a potential move to Saudi Arabia.

Lukaku is set to conclude the season with Roma as they contend for success in the Europa League. The Giallorossi, managed by Daniele De Rossi, are slated to face Serie A rivals AC Milan in the quarter-finals of the competition.
