Chelsea have agreed a season-long loan deal with Roma for Romelu Lukaku. The Serie A side will pay £8m to take the striker for a year, with a solution to the standoff between the player and the Premier League club finally in sight.
There is no obligation for Roma to make the deal permanent but they will cover the Belgian’s salary totalling €7.5m over 10 months. Roma’s billionaire owner, Dan Friedkin, will himself pilot a private flight from London to the Italian capital on Tuesday, with Lukaku due to arrive about 4pm BST.
