Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel was pictured in Italy as talks between Inter and Stamford Bridge outfit over the future of forward Romelu Lukaku continue.
The owner of the pizzeria, Eulo Mattioni, where the German ate with his partner in Perugia took a selfie to commemorate the moment and said the Belgium forward was mentioned.
Mattioni told Gazzetta dello Sport: “Tuchel was a really nice person. We had a bit of a laugh over the Lukaku situation.
“He ordered two pizzas: one for him and one for his partner and was complimentary about our restaurant and location.”
Lukaku spent two seasons at Inter before returning to Chelsea last summer in a deal worth a reported €115 million but failed to nail down a regular starting spot under Tuchel and appears keen making a return to the Nerazzurri.

Città di Castello – close to Perugia, not quite Perugia. As children we used to go there as it had a sort of ‘theme park’. Not quite Disney land but a little, humble Umbrian equivalent. Mister Tuchel has good taste – and probably hoped to not be recognised. The world is too small for that now though
