Romelu Lukaku and Inter Milan have decided that in order to lose weight and get back in shape before the start of the Serie A season, he will require specialised training and a rigorous diet.
A report in the German newspaper BILD claims that Inter have rehired one of the top chefs to assist Lukaku with his meals. His workout has also been planned to help him regain the weight that would enable him to resume playing at his peak.
In part because he was put on a particular diet that mostly consisted of fish, salad, vegetables, and poultry, the Belgian forward had a successful two-year stint with the team between 2019 and 2021.
The former Manchester United forward is rumoured to enjoy pasta, and while the club did allow him to occasionally indulge, they forced him to eat Shirataki noodles, which are comparable to glass noodles and have substantially fewer calories than their Italian counterparts.
The fact that Lukaku arrived from Chelsea weighing 101 kg is the main cause for concern for Inter Milan's coaching staff right now.
