Chelsea won't sell Lukaku - former Blues star

Former

midfielder Geremi has claimed that

has no plans to leave the club and that there is no sign of a break-up.

Chelsea star Lukaku recently announced in an interview that he intends to return to

and wants to leave Stamford Bridge in the near future, as he sees no place for himself in Thomas Tuchel's system. In response to Lukaku's words, Chelsea removed him from the squad for the match against Liverpool, and Geremi now claims that there was a misunderstanding in Lukaku's recent interview and that Chelsea will not sell him.

He said: 

“I was a bit surprised.

“As a former player I know there are a lot of situations like this. But when I watch the last performances of Lukaku, his attitude is great.

“I didn’t watch him at the training ground but on the pitch, after the match against Tottenham, he was sharing the victory with the fans. He was giving 100 per cent.

“What I read and heard was not the same as I was seeing. If you are not happy, why are you going to fight? You cannot lie to yourself and you wouldn’t have the same motivation.

“Also for the club, it is not good to keep players that don’t have motivation and ambition. But when I look at Lukaku, maybe there was a misunderstanding or misinterpretation of what he has said.”
