Juventus supporters have gang to against the club’s not to sign Chelsea foward Romelu Lukaku.
The Belgium international spent last season on loan at Inter, helping the Italian side to win the Coppa Italia and reach the Champions League final.
Lukaku’s preference was initially to remain at Inter but the Italian side were reluctant to meet Chelsea’s £40 million asking price and the striker now appears to have a change of heart by holding talks with Juventus.

Meanwhile, Lukaku’s representatives, Roc Nation Sports International, have hit back at reports claiming that they are considering splitting from the striker following the breakdown in negotiations with Inter.
In a message on Instagram, Roc Nation posted:
‘Fake news and irresponsible reporting must stop. Focus on the facts and the truth.’
Chelsea, meanwhile, have also been in talks with Juventus over a deal for their Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic.
It’s understood that Juventus are demanding at least £63m for the the 23-year-old, who scored 14 goals in all competitions last season.
Vlahovic has also attracted interest from Paris Saint-Germain this summer.
Lukaku’s other option is Al Hilal, although it’s though his preference at this stage is to remain in European football.
