Lukaku: If I hear racism, I will address it Serie A Discussed the issue of racism in football

Inter striker Romelu Lukaku has been the topic of conversation across Europe this week after the Belgian was subjected to racist abuse away at Cagliari, though he has stated that he will deal with the chants if he hears it.

The 26-year-old sat down with the Italian edition of Rolling Stone magazine prior to that infamous Cagliari match, and during which he discussed topics such as Inter's 'BUU' - Brothers Universally United - campaign and the current prevalence of racism in football, especially in England and Italy.

"I think it's a great initiative from the club," Lukaku said in relation to the BUU campaign.

"If they want me to help then I'd be willing to help, but right now I'm not focused on what's happening around me.

"If I hear it then I'll address it, but right now everyone's being nice to me. I just want to be focused on the football pitch and try to help my teammates win.

"I think you have to leave the stadiums, of course, because it's something we need to address.

"Also, lately in England, you see a lot of issues with players from Chelsea and Manchester United [Tammy Abraham and Paul Pogba respectively] in the last couple of weeks.

"It's something we need to address because football is international and multicultural, so if you really want to draw the best players in the world, you have to make sure you receive them with open arms because they're also willing to adapt to the culture.

"I think it's really important not to discriminate and just appreciate the presence they bring into the country."
