Roma has reached an agreement with Chelsea for a one-season loan deal of striker Romelu Lukaku. Roma officials Ryan Friedkin and Tiago Pinto traveled to London for in-person negotiations over the weekend regarding Lukaku's transfer to the Italian capital for the season.
The clubs have recently reached a significant milestone, securing a straight loan deal for Lukaku, with an approximate loan fee of £8m. Following a controversial interview where he expressed his unhappiness under former head coach Thomas Tuchel, Lukaku spent the previous season on loan at Inter Milan after losing favor at Chelsea.

Earlier this summer, Juventus engaged in discussions with Chelsea regarding the acquisition of Lukaku, while Inter also displayed a keen interest in bringing the Belgian international back to Italy.
Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal were also interested in signing the 30-year-old, who signed for Chelsea from Inter for £97.5m in August 2021.
