Can somebody explain to me what Lukaku actually did wrong? (lemmy.world)

So this has been bouncing around my head a few days. Inter fans are very angry at Lukaku at the moment for having discussions with Juventus about a potential move. And to a degree, I understand that. He is a player they supported in tough times talking to a rival.

What I don't get is how Pirlo played for Milan, Inter AND Juventus, and is a much beloved player. In fact there is a whole list of players who have done this, Zlatan, Baggio, Cannavaro and Vieri to just name a few noticeable ones. I always hear about how transfers between rivals are just a bit different and more common in Italy than the Premier League, so what gives here? Why is Lukaku a snake but those other players are Italian legends?

Aside from what @[email protected] said, these are different times. Serie A is much more brutal now with more competition and the continued dominance of PL as the super money league. Every club wants the best for themselves unlike how it was during late 80s/90s or early 00s where an overflowing amount of talent was in Serie A.
