So this has been bouncing around my head a few days. Inter fans are very angry at Lukaku at the moment for having discussions with Juventus about a potential move. And to a degree, I understand that. He is a player they supported in tough times talking to a rival.

What I don't get is how Pirlo played for Milan, Inter AND Juventus, and is a much beloved player. In fact there is a whole list of players who have done this, Zlatan, Baggio, Cannavaro and Vieri to just name a few noticeable ones. I always hear about how transfers between rivals are just a bit different and more common in Italy than the Premier League, so what gives here? Why is Lukaku a snake but those other players are Italian legends?

May be the others are Italian?

Zlatan isn’t Italian; Italians are Zlatan.

I didn't consider that and if you look at the list a lot of them are indeed Italian. There are some notable ones who aren't Italian though, like Zlatan, Patrick Viera, Edgar Davids, Brazilian Ronaldo and Seedorf.
