Chelsea Lukaku on loan to Roma

Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku has joined Italian side Roma on a season-long loan deal from Chelsea.

The 30-year-old returns to Serie A after spending last season on loan with Inter Milan, and helping them reach the Champions League final.

He is reported to have turned down a lucrative move to the Saudi Pro League.

Lukaku is believed to have accepted a wage cut to be reunited with coach Jose Mourinho at Roma.

Mourinho briefly managed Lukaku in 2013–2014, during the striker’s first spell at Chelsea, before the Portuguese signed him for Manchester United from Everton in 2017 for £75million.
