Tiago Pinto is going to make a last minute push for the Belgian striker even though the negotiations are currently very complicated.
AS Roma is still on the hunt for a new striker, and in the last few hours, the possibility of seeing Romelu Lukaku in a ‘gialorosso’ has gained some momentum.
As reported by Goal.com, there is a possibility that the Belgian could be wearing the Roman jersey this season, although the negotiation currently appears to be very challenging.
Pinto (Roma’s Sporting Director) is pushing to have the striker despite Belgian’s valuation of around €35 million and a net salary of around €12 million per year.
Roma’s hope is that Chelsea, in order to offload the player, can actively participate in covering the wage, thus facilitating the potential success of the deal, which has to be a loan with an option for purchase.
‘I Giallorossi’ are in a hurry to get a new striker, something that Mourinho has demanded since the beginning of this transfer market.
The early approach for Gianluca Scamacca didn’t work, while another complicated negotiation is currently ongoing with Atalanta for Duvan Zapata.
Now the team from ‘the Capitale‘ appears to have begun contemplating the bringing of the former Inter man at the ‘Olimpico‘.
