Lukaku’s Future Talk Won’t Distract My Players – Tuchel

Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel has come out to say that Romelu Lukaku’s agent publicly discussing the striker’s future is not ideal right now. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, even if the situation is not very ideal at this moment in time, and ahead of tomorrow’s final vs Liverpool, he doesn’t think it’ll serve as any sort of distraction for his players.

Tuchel added that Lukaku’s future will be a relevant topic of discussion when Chelsea no longer has anything to play for.

His words, “I just was aware about it five or 10 minutes ago actually.”

“That’s what it is sometimes in football. The tension is so high that sometimes it attracts situations that you don’t want to have before big matches but that’s the way it is. For me it is not a distraction and hopefully for everybody who works with the team and the team itself also.”

“If he plans to talk to the owner, maybe it is his plan not to talk with me. Fair enough, let’s see if he gets a meeting and can get to talk. It is his right. We will talk to anybody and evaluate any situation of any player including Romelu’s and then we will see what’s going to happen and what the plans are.”
