Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel, has said that he never asked
Romelu Lukaku to leave the club this summer.
Tuchel told The Telegraph that there was never a time he
said he wanted Lukaku out of Stamford Bridge.
“Never” the German said, adding that he was always clear on
the matter, insisting he was willing to help the Belgian star to become a
better player if he stayed.
“It was always a possibility he stayed, but Romelu made it
very clear he wanted to leave and the owners took the decision to make the
decision straight away.
“Disappointed is the wrong word. I don’t know a better word
in English. It feels like I take it personally – it’s never personal. I am not
happy that we couldn’t bring more out of him.
“Maybe it would have just taken a bit more time. A bit more fitness, a bit more adaptation in our game. Who knows? But we will not find out. Once Romelu gave his clear opinion on the situation and there was a solution on the table, the owners made their choice and had my blessing.”
