Mourinho gets Lukaku to Roma for one season
It will be a season-long loan with no obligation to buy but Roma will cover the Belgian’s salary totalling €7.5m over the course of the season.
Lukaku joined Chelsea for £97.5m in 2021 but endured a torrid spell, scoring just 8 Premier League goals in 26 games before being loaned out to Internazionale last season.
New Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino hinted last week that he would be willing to consider reintegrating the Belgium international into his squad if he remained in London before the deadline but that situation has been averted.
Roma have been searching for a striker and a deal has now been struck for the 30-year-old to join up with the former Blues manager José Mourinho in Rome.
