Lukaku eyes Roma as Juve move delays excessively

Romelu Lukaku is reportedly set to reject Juventus and opt for a season-long loan deal with AS Roma under the management of Jose Mourinho, departing from Chelsea.

Lukaku’s transfer saga has taken an unexpected twist, with the striker now veering away from a move to Juventus. As per The Telegraph, discussions are underway for him to join Roma on loan for the upcoming season.

This surprising shift has led Chelsea to reassess their stance, considering the possibility of allowing Lukaku to depart on loan, a change from their earlier insistence on a permanent transfer.

Lukaku’s decision to spurn Juventus arises from his belief that negotiations have been prolonged excessively, leading him to no longer favour a move to Turin.

Although the final details of the arrangement are being settled, it’s improbable that a buy-option will be incorporated into the deal.

In the meantime, Juventus presented a proposal wherein Chelsea would pay £30 million ($23.5 million) and trade Lukaku for Dusan Vlahovic.

Nonetheless, Chelsea rejected this proposition.

While Lukaku had previously rejected advances from Al-Hilal, he remains steadfast in his desire to continue his career in Europe.

Nevertheless, there have been indications that other clubs in the Pro League are also interested in signing him if he doesn’t secure a club before the transfer window closes.

Any such proposal, however, would likely be considerably less favourable than Al-Hilal’s offer.

Having trained with Chelsea’s U21 team due to not featuring in Mauricio Pochettino’s plans, Lukaku’s potential move to Roma on loan could mark a pivotal juncture in his career, presenting a golden opportunity for him to rejuvenate his trajectory.
