Romelu Lukaku (30-Chelsea), who has been without a destination as the summer transfer window closes, will join AS Roma on a one-year loan. With all the agreements being finalized, the transfer seems to be a done deal. He will also be reunited with manager Jose Mourinho (60-Portugal) after five years. 바카라

European football transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio said on Sunday: “Lukaku is getting closer and closer to joining AS Roma. All agreements are almost finalized. It’s a one-season loan,” and “now we just need to find an agreement on the salary.”

Lukaku has finally found a new home after a summer that saw him become a ‘duck in a row’. He returned to Chelsea on loan last month, but was then handed a ‘release clause’ and sought a move away, with both a move to Inter Milan and a move to Juventus falling through.

In fact, it looked like Lukaku was on his way back to Inter Milan on a permanent deal until early last month. However, the deal ultimately fell through after he became impatient with the deadlocked transfer talks and secretly contacted Juventus for discussions, branding them a “traitor”.

The move to Juventus was met with fierce opposition from fans as Lukaku was already at the center of controversy, having been branded a “traitor” over the way the deal was structured. He was subsequently linked to Tottenham Hotspur and Al-Hilal, among others, but nothing concrete came of the negotiations. Now, as the transfer window closes, Lukaku is set to join AS Roma on loan.

If Lukaku does end up in an AS Roma shirt, it will be his third meeting with Mourinho. They first formed a ‘priestly kite’ back in 2014 at Chelsea. However, he received little playing time at the time. The pair reunited at Manchester United in 2017. They played 73 games (33 goals, 11 assists) in all competitions over two seasons.

Lukaku is a Belgian-born striker who made his professional debut with Anderlecht in 2009 and has since gone on to play for Chelsea, Everton, Manchester United, and Inter Milan. At 6-foot-1, Lukaku has great pace, which he combines with his excellent goal-scoring ability and excellent post play. However, in recent years, he’s seen a sharp decline in form and hasn’t been able to deliver the same intense performances.
