Romelu Lukaku has been accused of lacking 'respect' by Inter Milan's sporting director Piero Ausilio months after his acrimonious departure from the San Siro.

The Chelsea loanee spent last season at his former club, and gradually rediscovered his form for the Nerazzurri, leading to speculation that the Milanese club might attempt to make his return permanent.

But Inter's repeated advances were deemed below Chelsea's asking price, and whilst negotiations were ongoing, Lukaku is thought to have opened talks with Juventus.

Discussions with the Old Lady were believed to have deterred Inter, but Lukaku plumped for a move to join Jose Mourinho's set-up at Roma after fan protests at his proposed signing in Turin.
