Chelsea striker Lukaku set for Roma loan: Italian press

Romelu Lukaku, a Belgian international striker, will be loaned by Chelsea to Serie A team Roma, according to a report from Gazzetta dello Sport on Monday.

Roma will pay the London club 5.8 million euros ($6.2 million), and the player will receive a 7.5 million euro annual wage, according to the Italian sports daily.

Lukaku is scheduled to travel to Rome on Tuesday to have a medical, according to Gazzetta.

The Belgian will work with Jose Mourinho once more at Roma after working with him at Chelsea and Manchester United.

In 2021, Lukaku transferred from Inter Milan to Chelsea for 115 million euros. He joined Chelsea in 2011, left in 2014 to join Everton, then transferred to Manchester United and Inter.

Lukaku, 30, spent last season on loan in Italy, back at Inter, scoring 14 goals.

Roma have already signed Iranian international Sardar Azmoun on loan from Bayer Leverkusen and the Paris Saint-Germain midfield pair of Leandro Paredes and Renato Sanches, the latter also on loan.

Houssem Aouar joined on a five-year deal from Lyon in June.

Roma have one point after the first two rounds of Serie A games.
