Lukaku hasn't scored for Inter Milan in UCL - Mauro Icardi's wife shades him

Mauro Icardi's wife and agent, Wanda Nara, has slammed Inter Milan for replacing her husband with Romelu Lukaku.

Lukaku joined the Serie A side from Manchester United while Icardi was shipped on loan to Paris St Germain last summer.

Since joining Inter Milan, Lukaku has been enjoying a good goal scoring form in the Serie A but wasn't able to replicate the same in the UEFA Champions League. The club has now crashed out while Icardi's PSG progressed to the next round.

When it was suggested that Lukaku is more of a team player than Icardi, Wanda Nara told Tiki Taka:

'It would be good to see [Lukaku] in big games too. He hasn't scored in the Champions League, he'll watch the knockout rounds on TV'.

'The last No. 9 only scored about 150 goals for Inter.

'I think Conte is Inter's real asset. He makes the difference, he has only played three times with the first-choice midfield he put together at the start.

'So Conte makes the difference. Then we'll change our minds week by week. Lukaku had been criticised after the Champions League, now he is praised like a phenomenon.

'I am an Inter fan, but I cannot stand the disrespect because we are talking about the former No. 9 and I am right here. I saw a No. 9 that scored 150 goals.'
