Romelu Lukaku signs for AS Roma, set to continue his career with new Italian club

The move is a straight loan with a fee worth between £7m to £8m depending on performance-related conditions.

Roma will cover Lukaku's wages after he agreed to a salary cut for the remaining three years of his Chelsea contract.

Lukaku will join Roma after spending last season on loan at Inter Milan.

He scored 24 goals in 36 Serie A appearances for Inter, helping the club win the league title.

Lukaku is reunited with Jose Mourinho at Roma.

Mourinho was the manager of Inter when Lukaku first joined the club in 2019.

Lukaku is expected to be a key player for Roma next season.

Benjamin Pavard joins Inter from Bayern Munich.
