There is a growing sentiment that Lukaku should leave Chelsea. As it is believed that he has strained his relationship with the club. Ally McCoist, speaking on talkSPORT. Suggested that Pochettino should part ways with Lukaku to ensure a positive dressing room environment in the upcoming season.

While there is a possibility that Lukaku could perform well under Pochettino in the upcoming season, the presence of young talents like Armando Broja, Christopher Nkunku, and the imminent arrival of Nicolas Jackson in Pochettino’s attacking lineup suggests that it may be time to part ways with the 30-year-old striker.
