'Not in my name': Lukaku sends strong message in response to agent's controversial comments

romelulukaku @ Instagram

 appears to be unhappy about his agent's 

The Belgian striker took to Instagram to post a strong message seemingly aimed at Federico Pastorello.

"Never ever will I let someone speak for me..." the caption reads.

"I kept my mouth shut and focused on helping the team the best way as possible.

"So if someone out there trying to say something about me and the club... not in my name."

Lukaku did well to nip the story in the bud: such comments from his agents were not helpful in the slightest before the FA Cup final.

The Belgian probably deserves to start tomorrow's game based on his form: he scored three goals in the previous two games and seems to be finally enjoying his game.

'We will talk to anybody': Tuchel reacts to Lukaku agent's request

"I just was aware about it five or 10 minutes ago actually," 

 said when asked about the comments made by 

"That's what it is sometimes in football. The tension is so high that sometimes it attracts situations that you don't want to have before big matches but that's the way it is. 

"For me it is not a distraction and hopefully for everybody who works with the team and the team itself also.

"If he plans to talk to the owner, maybe it is his plan not to talk with me. Fair enough, let's see if he gets a meeting and can get to talk. It is his right.

'I do not discuss the tactical choices, but it is obvious that there was a problem': Lukaku's agent aims dig at Tuchel

 agent, Federico Pastorello spoke about his situation at 

 and how things might play out for the Belgian striker.

"He has the club and the fans in his heart, he has never hidden it, like his love for Anderlecht where he would like to end his career.

"But we cannot think about negotiations. Chelsea are in takeover discussions, we do not know the new owners, let alone if we can open talks with Inter or AC Milan. We have to wait.

"For the cost of the transfer, no one could have expected such a situation. I do not discuss the tactical choices, but it is obvious that there was a problem.

"The numbers, however, must be considered - he is still the team's best scorer, with less playing time compared to his teammates.

"The situation must be carefully assessed, now there is Champions League qualification to secure, there is the FA Cup final. Romelu is focused on this, we have not talked about anything else."
