"For a player to have disputes with a single team during their career is relatively normal, but if they manage to upset two teams consecutively, it may indeed raise questions about the player's conduct. Belgian forward Romelu Lukaku is a case in point, as he has had conflicts with both Chelsea and Inter Milan, which has led to scrutiny of his professional ethics.

Lukaku joined Chelsea from Inter Milan for €100 million three years ago but struggled to meet expectations at the London club. Over time, Lukaku, Chelsea, and even the fans were disappointed with his performances. At this point, Lukaku made a decision that raised eyebrows; he went on strike, publicly expressing his desire to return to Inter Milan even if it meant a pay cut. He was willing to go to great lengths, even to the point of damaging his relationship with Chelsea, for this goal. In the end, Chelsea, frustrated by his behavior, chose to send him back to Inter Milan on a one-year loan, although they still had a three-year contract with him.

Upon his return to Inter Milan, Lukaku, while not reaching his peak form, performed well enough to make Inter Milan want to retain him as their main forward. They were even willing to pay €40 million to acquire him from Chelsea and negotiations began. These negotiations lasted for a considerable amount of time. Initially, Lukaku expressed his strong desire to stay at Inter Milan, even turning down a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabian giants Riyadh FC. However, just as the negotiations were nearing completion, Lukaku once again stirred the pot.

After the negotiations between Inter Milan and Chelsea concluded, they tried to contact Lukaku, only to find that they couldn't reach him or his agent! It turns out that Lukaku needed to reconsider his decision due to an offer from another Serie A team, Juventus. Lukaku's flip-flop left both Inter Milan and Chelsea furious. Was all the negotiation effort over the past month in vain? Lukaku's actions can be seen as highly irresponsible and have left everyone at Inter Milan deeply disappointed.

Lukaku's behavior is considered highly irresponsible and lacking in professional ethics."

Let's hope there won't be another Lukaku in the future.

Lukaku can be seen as a real entertainer on the field, that's for sure!

It's all about self-interest, and clubs are not necessarily the entirely benevolent party either; contracts often come with additional clauses.
