They are part of the game for those with significant media relevance."What we cannot tolerate are the lies, insinuations and insults we have received [also towards my family and my daughters], that have far exceeded the limits civilisation, decency, and tolerance."Lukaku was a San Siro player who scored 64 goals in 95 games. This helped the Nerazzurri win their first Scudetto since 2010.This sale made Belgium's top goal scorer the most expensive ever sold by Serie A sides.
