    City police found a 24-strong group celebrating Lukaku’s 28th birthday last week at a hotel in the The Square Milano Duomo at 3am after reportedly being tipped off.
    Lukaku’s team-mates Ivan Perisic and Achraf Hakimi were also disciplined following the party, with Inter jubilant followng their title-winning glory.
    But in an emotional video D’Urso hit back at those pointing the finger at her.
    She said: “I’m sorry to be seen in these conditions.
    “But I would like to say a few words on the news that has circulated in the last few hours and of which I know nothing because I have never called to report any party.

    “With all these insults I realize how dangerous social media can be.”
    A police spokesman said of the party at the time: “The organisers and guests will be sanctioned in various ways for breaking the rules on containing Covid-19.”

    Cristiano Ronaldo’s £17m fleet of supercars shipped back to Spain in hint he will make emotional Real Madrid transfer

    CRISTIANO RONALDO has fuelled speculation he could be returning to Real Madrid from Juventus after his £17million car collection was transported to the Spanish capital.The ex-Manchester United star joined the Italian giants in 2018 and still has another year on his £540,000-a-week contract, but is cutting a lonely figure in the dressing room.

    Ronaldo, 36, has been linked with a return to first club Sporting Lisbon as well as Real and United and he is getting cold shouldered by team mates who are fed up at how he is given preferential treatment by club directors.
    Last week the entire squad were brought in for an extra day’s training while the Portugese international was treated to a day trip around the Ferrari HQ in Maranello near Bologna.
    Earlier this week a video emerged of his car collection – which includes a Bugatti, a Mercedes jeep and a Maseratti – being loaded into a trailer overnight by a team of mechanics from a Lisbon-based company.
    Footage of the night time operation was posted on an Italian football website called Per Sempre Calcio and it was filmed from a balcony overlooking the garage in Turin where the cars are stored.
    The firm moving the cars – Rodo Cargo – is based in the Portugese capital Lisbon and specialises in moving luxury cars belonging to footballers all over the world.
    The destination for the motors remained a mystery – until now.
    Spanish media outlet Record have now claimed the vehicles have arrived in Madrid to ramp up rumours of a return to Real.
    After joining Madrid for a then-world record fee of £80m from Manchester United in 2009, Ronaldo broke all kinds of records with Los Blancos.

    He scored 450 goals in 438 games for Madrid, while winning two league titles and four Champions Leagues.
    Ronaldo reportedly left Santiago Bernabeu because he no longer felt ‘indispensable’ in the eyes of president Florentino Perez.
    But it would appear all may be forgiven and forgotten, with a potential reunion on the cards in the coming months.

    Ronaldo’s mother Dolores Aveiro has already said she will ‘try to convince’ her son to return to Lisbon, but agent Jorge Mendes denied the Portugal icon will head back to his homeland.
    Rumours are rife he may move back to United or even Paris Saint-German as fifth-placed Juve face the prospect of missing out on Champions League football next season.

    Brazil cult hero Adriano sees himself in ‘unstoppable’ Romelu Lukaku and regularly texts his Inter Milan ‘heir’

    And the four-time Serie A winner believes that Lukaku – who has netted 63 times in 94 games for the Italian club since arriving from Manchester United – has many characteristics which liken him to the ex-Brazil international.
    Speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Adriano said: “Romelu is very similar to me from all points of view.
    “Not only for the physical strength and his left foot, but also for the humility and the very strong family bond.
    “He’s a unique and technical player, no one can stop him. Imagine for a moment, me and him on the pitch together… Mamma mia!”
    Adriano, whose career spiralled out of control after the death of his father, also revealed he has exchanged text messages with the Belgian striker.
    “We met through a direct on Instagram organised by Inter during the lockdown – we had never spoken before,” he added.
    “From that day on we started texting – he also speaks Portuguese. He’s a power on the pitch and an incredible human off it.
    “I’m very proud that he has become my heir.”

    Adriano hit the headlines back in March after moving out of his £1.2million mansion and moving into a £10,000-a-month hotel, leaving behind everything except the medals from his football career.
    Meanwhile, Lukaku recently helped Inter Milan secure their first Serie A title since 2010 under manager Antonio Conte.
    The Nerazzurri ended Juventus’ run of nine straight scudettos in a row by wrapping the title up in fairly routine fashion.
    Along the way, Lukaku has netted 23 league goals, with only Cristiano Ronaldo managing more in the Italian top flight this season.

    The firm moving the cars – Rodo Cargo – is based in the Portugese capital Lisbon and specialises in moving luxury cars belonging to footballers all over the world.
    Now an alleged neighbour of Ronaldo’s, named Luciano Saroglia, has called a football talk show to describe what he saw.
    Speaking on Radio Punto Nuovo, Luciano said: “Being a proper Turin resident born and bred in the city the only team I support is Torino, the one and only side in the city.
    “Three years ago when Ronaldo arrived two trucks turned up and all his cars were off loaded onto the street and they went into the garage.

    “Yesterday evening around 11.30, I looked out the window and saw the same truck that had arrived three years ago, outside on the street with the cars being loaded in.
    “It was definitely not a council tow away truck – you could tell. This had two decks for all the cars and was a trailer.”
    He continued: “There were a couple of guys there loading the cars and then all of a sudden I saw Ronaldo on the street supervising it all.
    “I can’t see them being moved to another part of the city, if you ask me he is off.
    “I could hear him talking with the driver and the other guys but it was in Portugese so I didn’t understand it.

    “To be fair to him, the whole time he has been here he has been an ideal neighbour, not one party, no noise and we have never had any reason to complain.
    “The benefit for the neighbourhood is that since he moved in the amount of police patrols have increased so if he goes I’m sure that will change.”

    Morabito said: “Manuello and I met with AC Milan at the end of the January transfer window.
    “They confirmed how highly they rate Giroud, although they said they were considering younger players for their attack.
    “However we have remained in contact with them, and we will see what happens in the future.
    “There was the possibility of Giroud moving to Italy in January.
    “We spoke with both Juventus and with Roma, when they thought that Edin Dzeko would leave for Inter Milan.

    Cristiano Ronaldo backed for sensational Man Utd return after poor Juventus season by Gary Pallister

    MANCHESTER UNITED icon Gary Pallister believes club legend Cristiano Ronaldo could return to Old Trafford in the summer.The Juventus forward is facing an uncertain future in Italy with the 36-year-old to potentially be sold at the end of the season.

    Former Red Devils defender Gary Pallister has backed Ronaldo to return to Old TraffordCredit: Getty
    Ronaldo has just one year left on his contract in Turin, and the Old Lady could decide to cash in on their prized asset.
    And the five-time Ballon d’Or winner could opt to quit Juve with the Serie A giants in danger of missing out on the Champions League.
    Andrea Pirlo’s side sit in fifth spot with just one top-flight match to go, and it is unlikely Ronaldo would want to compete in the Europa League next term.
    The ex-Real Madrid maestro has already fuelled speculation he could leave by loading his £17million car collection into a trailer on Tuesday night.
    Commenting on his future, former United defender Pallister told Compare.bet: “I could see him coming back.
    “He had a great time at Old Trafford, and coming back here would suit Cristiano with Juve struggling with Champions League qualification.
    “He didn’t have issues here the first time round under the leadership of Sir Alex, and you can see that he still looks after himself and has that hunger.

    “He still wants to compete at the top level and play Champions League football, and if he comes to United you have to find a place for Cristiano Ronaldo.

    “He’s a magnificent player and still has that hunger to prove himself as the best player that’s ever walked this planet.
    “I think he’s on record as wanting to play until he’s 40 – sometimes when you’re bringing a player back to a club you worry about the hunger and desire if it’s something seen as more of a final payday.
    “You see the way he talks and trains, he’s still keen and can be one of the best players in the world at United.”
    Despite Juve’s struggles this campaign, Ronaldo has once again starred as he sits top of the Serie A goalscoring charts.
    The Sporting Lisbon academy graduate has banged in 29 league goals this term from just 33 games.
    And he brought up 100 goals in all competitions for the Bianconeri in last week’s 3-1 win against Sassuolo.
