Naples striker Lukaku talked about the highly-watched transfer that year in an interview recently. In the summer of 2017, Lukaku left Everton to join Manchester United, with a transfer fee of 84.7 million euros.
Lukaku said: "I had told everyone at that time: I was going back to Chelsea. But suddenly Mourinho called me and told me that Manchester United had made a offer. When I came back from vacation, Manchester United quickly reached an agreement with Everton.
"Later, I also told (former agent) Raiola, 'This is not what I want to do'. Then I made the decision and now I have to do everything myself. ”
