Romelu Lukaku will still evolve in Serie A next season, on the side of AS Roma.

It was not until the day before the summer transfer window closed that Romelu Lukaku was finally set on his future. A time gone to stay at Inter Milan, where he was loaned by Chelsea last season, then announced to Juventus, where the Turin tifosi did not want him, the Belgian striker (30 years old) will always evolve in Serie A this year, but at AS Roma.

The Italian club formalized Thursday the signing of the Red Devil, again ceded by the Blues until next June because Mauricio Pochettino did not count on him on the side of Stamford Bridge. This loan would pay off and would amount to nearly 6 million euros for the Louve, where the striker will find a José Mourinho whom he has already rubbed shoulders with at Chelsea and Manchester United.

No purchase option would have been included in the agreement between London and Roman leaders. The new number 90 of the Giallorossi, who should receive an annual salary of 7 million euros, will therefore a priori still be on the market in a year.
