Lukaku (28) is a better fit for Chelsea compared to Giroud (34) as he's younger and I think he's a better playmaker in terms of creating assists for his teammates. Yes Giroud was a prolific scorer in his prime but he's not where he used to be. Perhaps another important factor is Lukaku is much more engaged as a teammate and leader within the team. As soon as he arrived at Chelsea the other players vibed with him. He brings another dimension that Giroud did not personality-wise. Ask yourself why Giroud wasn't starting more games if he was such a good fit for them.
As for losing Giroud, they let him go to AC Milan. If they really wanted to keep him they would have.
