Lukaku’s transfer to cost Roma:
Lukaku will arrive in the capital on a costly dry loan, paid around €5 million, possibly with some additional bonuses. Roma will not retain an option for either a mandatory or optional buy at the end of the season.
The two clubs are finalizing the last details regarding the player’s salary. Lukaku currently earns €11.5 million a year at Chelsea, Roma’s will cover around around €7.5 million. However, Chelsea would not pay the remaining €4 million, so Lukaku is called upon to make a significant financial ‘sacrifice.’
A turning point of the deal was Friedkin and Tiago Pinto‘s trip to London, the decisive meeting took place this morning, which effectively unlocked the negotiation. The agreement with the club is nearly complete; now, they are working on reaching an agreement with the player’s agents.
Romelu Lukaku, who scored 3 goals against Roma in 5 official matches while wearing Inter’s jersey, is getting ready to ‘don the yellow and red’.
