Juventus supporters chanted against the signing of Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku during a pre-season friendly against their own Next Gen team at the Allianz Stadium on Wednesday evening.

Lukaku has already agreed personal terms to join Juventus this summer but the Serie A club have been unable to settle on a transfer fee with Chelsea.
Juventus are open to including Dusan Vlahovic as part of the deal but Chelsea’s hierarchy, including Mauricio Pochettino, are said to be unconvinced by the Serbian striker.
Last month, Juventus supporters protested against Lukaku’s potential arrival outside the club’s medical centre.
And Juve fans have made their opinion heard once again as they chanted, ‘noi Lukaku non lo vogliamo’, which translates in English to, ‘we don’t want Lukaku’ during their friendly on Wednesday.
The chants were even loud enough to be picked up during the televised broadcast of the game.
Inter had held talks to keep Lukaku on a permanent basis following his loan spell last season but were angered after discovering that the Belgium international had been negotiating with Juventus.
‘For what Inter had done to him, we expected a different type of behavior from both the man and the professional,’ Inter’s vice-president Javier Zanetti said in an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport on Wednesday.
‘He has the right to go wherever he wants. But he could have revealed his decision at the right time.
‘However, no one is bigger than the club. So when building a team, you always have to consider who you put in the dressing room.’
