Inter boss Simone Inzaghi speaks on Lukaku’s looming transfer to Roma

Following Inter’s 2-0 victory over Cagliari, Inter manager Simone Inzaghi shared his perspective on Romelu Lukaku’s impending transfer to Roma.

The Chelsea and Belgian forward is on the brink of returning to Italy, with Jose Mourinho eager to secure his services on a loan arrangement for the capital club.

The transfer saga has been a protracted one with many unexpected turns.

Lukaku reportedly declined the opportunity to make his loan stint at Inter permanent, initially eyeing a move to Juventus.

Eventually, he shifted his focus to Roma, perceiving that negotiations with Juventus were protracted.


When Inzaghi was asked to comment on Lukaku’s proposed loan move to Roma, the Inter boss told reporters: “As far as Lukaku is concerned, Roma have made an excellent signing. For the rest, I am very satisfied with my players, with the values they have and with the Inter family.”


In order to finalise his transfer to Roma, Lukaku is expected to undergo a substantial reduction in his wages. His current earnings, estimated at around £325,000 per week, exceed what Roma can feasibly afford to pay in full.

Maintaining his eagerness, Mourinho is enthusiastic about the prospect of reuniting with the striker, building on their previous collaboration during their time at Manchester United.

He is “quietly observing” Roma’s actions in bolstering their attacking options as the summer transfer window nears its conclusion.

Lukaku seems poised to depart Stamford Bridge, concluding a less-than-stellar second tenure with Chelsea.

To facilitate his move to Roma, the striker has agreed to reduced remuneration. In exchange for his services, Roma is expected to provide Chelsea with a £5 million loan fee.
