Inter Milan decide against fining Lukaku over interview

Inter Milan have decided against fining Romelu Lukaku after doing an unauthorised interview this week.

Lukaku spoke with Kat Kerkhofs, the wife of good friend and Napoli striker Dries Mertens, on Instagram this week, discussing Italy's coronavirus lockdown and life with Inter.

La Repubblica says Inter management were "irritated" with Lukaku's choice to accept the interview without seeking permission first.

However, it's been agreed the Belgian will not be fined for breaking club rules.

It's been suggested the decision was made as Lukaku is in a sensitive situation given his concerns for his family back home in Belgium, particularly his mother.
