Roma confirm loan transfer of Chelsea forward Romelu Lukaku for season

Posted : 31 August 2023
As Roma has officially confirmed the completion of a season-long loan transfer for Chelsea forward Romelu Lukaku, according to an announcement made by the Serie A club on Thursday.
 
This move marks a return to Italian football for Lukaku, who previously spent two seasons at Inter Milan from 2019 to 2021, and he also made a loan return to the club last season.
 
In this new journey, the Belgian international will once again work under the management of Jose Mourinho. Mourinho has previously coached Lukaku during the player's initial tenure at Chelsea and later signed him for Manchester United in 2017.
 
Chelsea's decision to let go of Lukaku this summer aligns with their ongoing squad revamp at Stamford Bridge. Previous reports indicated that Lukaku turned down an offer to join Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal. Negotiations with Juventus fell through, and Inter Milan had two bids rejected.
 
Sources disclosed that AS Roma will pay a loan fee that could reach up to £8 million ($10.1 million) based on performance incentives.
 
While Chelsea was open to a loan arrangement with Roma, they preferred the receiving club to assume the majority of Lukaku's wages, which amount to approximately £300,000 per week.
