Chelsea is actively involved in discussions with Roma regarding the potential loan arrangement for Romelu Lukaku. The talks have continued in London, with the aim of finalizing the terms of the deal.

The club’s efforts to secure an agreement with Roma for Romelu Lukaku’s loan departure are in full swing as the weekend approaches. The 30-year-old striker, despite being the highest earner at the club, has expressed his desire to leave. Chelsea is also open to reallocating his wages to acquire other players who would complement the team’s roster.

Having spent the previous season on loan at Inter Milan, where he played a pivotal role in their journey to the Champions League final, Lukaku’s anticipated return to the club experienced a late setback. Juventus initially showed interest but couldn’t meet his financial demands. Now, AS Roma has emerged as a potential destination, ready to cover at least half of his wages. This presents an opportunity for Chelsea to make cost-saving decisions that align with the vision of manager Mauricio Pochettino.

An opportunity for Chelsea to make cost-saving decisions

Pochettino’s priorities for the transfer window include securing a goalkeeper and possibly adding another striker. In his own words from last week, “We need at least one goalkeeper. We have good young goalkeepers, but they need time. And then we need one offensive player with the right profile.”

“We need at least one goalkeeper.” and Djordje Petrovic came.

In recent developments, Chelsea has officially signed Djordje Petrovic from the MLS side New England Revolution, enhancing the competition for the goalkeeper position alongside Robert Sanchez, who has recently taken the lead role.
