Inter Milan have officially confirmed the loan signing of Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea using a bizarre video that features the striker along with the words from a sonnet by William Shakespeare.
Lukaku’s move to the Italian giants was as good as completed at the end of June when Chelsea confirmed that their £98million buy from the Serie A side last summer was on his way back to the San Siro in a temporary switch for one season at a cost of £6.9million.
But Inter have left it late to officially unveil him to supporters, before uploading a video to welcome him to the club on Tuesday night.
Inter Milan have finally confirmed the loan signing of Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea
The Italian club unveiled a video with the striker and words to a William Shakespeare sonnet
The video contains the striker sitting facing a camera, with frequent cut-away clips to his previous spell at the Italian club where his goals helped power them to the 2020-21 league title.
Alongside the images, the words of Shakespeare’s Sonnet 109 are spoken and appear on screen.
The 70-second clip then cuts to a beaming Lukaku saying ‘I’m Romelu, I’m Inter’ in its conclusion.
Inter posted the video onto the website as well as their Twitter account, with a caption reading ‘Thank you to William Shakespeare for the words. Oh Romelu, Romelu, welcome home.’
