Lukaku awaits Chelsea meeting to decide Roma future

Romelu Lukaku’s future at Roma remains uncertain as the Belgian striker awaits a crucial meeting between the Giallorossi and Chelsea.

The outcome of the meeting is expected to help Lukaku decide whether to remain at the Stadio Olimpico or not.

His loan spell with the Serie A side lasts until the end of the season, with Roma lacking an option to keep him on permanent basis beyond June.

According to Football Italia, the latest updates suggest that Roma and Chelsea are slated to convene before the season ends, to deliberate on Lukaku’s future.

However, amidst the anticipation, concrete offers have been scanty for the Roma loanee, who is expected to be available for selection in Thursday’s Europa League semi-final clash against Bayer Leverkusen.

Previous reports from Italy indicated that the Blues were eyeing a €42 million fee for the former Inter Milan star in the upcoming 2024 summer transfer window.

However, Lukaku remains in a holding pattern, awaiting clarity on his options and Chelsea’s possible valuation for a permanent transfer, if the Blues won’t keep him.

Recall that Chelsea themselves have been struggling up front this sesosn, with many demanding his return to put up a competition with Nicolas Jackson.
