Romelu Lukaku’s potential was not understood by Manchester United, but he also hopes James Rodriguez can move to Inter as well, thinks Ivan Cordoba.
About the strong impression that players like Lukaku and Ashley Young were making in San Siro, the legend of Nerazzurri talked to the Sportsmail Daily Mail.
Cordoba said, “Lukaku is an extraordinary player. Manchester United did not understand the player’s potential and his last season was bad for him. In my opinion, Lukaku is proving everyone to be a champion.”
“He is determined and the Premier League has improved him a lot. I met him: he is a positive leader in the changing rooms. It’s a shame that Manchester United sold him, but I’m happy that Inter bought him. Antonio Conte has been fundamental to his form at Inter.”
“Eriksen and Young are excellent players and will give determination and strength to Inter. I am happy that they chose Inter.”
James Rodriguez has been continuously linked to a move to Series A for Napoli, Juventus or Inter.
“James Rodriguez is the best player for us Colombians. It depends on him – he has everything he needs to do well. James is already at one of the best teams in Real Madrid, but the Premier League would be a great destination. Those who buy him will make an excellent choice.”
“Selfishly, I hope to see him in Italy at my Inter. I hope that one day he can replace me as a Colombian footballer at the San Siro.”
