The former goalkeeper remains in intensive care in Croatia following the worrying news on Friday
Al Hilal — one of the four Saudi Pro League sides taken over by the country’s Public Investment Fund recently — have been pursuing a deal for Lukaku for weeks, but the Belgium international is still holding out for a return to Inter.

Lukaku spent last season back on loan at Inter following a disappointing 2021-22 campaign at Chelsea, where he scored 15 goals in 44 matches in all competitions.
