Asked why he hesitated last summer, Lukaku told HLN: "Because everyone only went to Saudi Arabia after I could sign there, I was scared for a while.
"[Now] Saudi Arabia would not stop me. The level there will only rise, to a much higher level than many people think. More and more footballers will tend to play there.
"Also because of how the fans there experience football. The infrastructure still needs to improve, but all the big top European clubs know: 'Saudi Arabia is coming.' You already see that in boxing, golf, Formula 1."
Speaking about the possibility of a move this summer, Lukaku continued: "A lot of people like to talk, maybe because I don't have an agent. But I'm going to decide. I control my situation myself.
"I am going to make a choice and once I will explain it, everyone is going to agree with me. Look, every time I decided to stay or leave somewhere, it turned out to be the right choice because of certain factors -- for example my rapport with the coach", Lukaku said. "It's like a relationship with a woman. If it doesn't click anymore, why stay together?"
