The striker, Lukaku 30, will reconnect with former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho for the 2023-24 season, and Chelsea will reportedly collect up to £8 million for his temporary departure.
Roma have no option or duty to extend Lukaku’s contract beyond next season, but the Giallorossi will pay the Belgian’s earnings, which he has agreed to reduce in order to return to Italy.
“The welcome I’ve received from this club and its fans has excited me and given me even more motivation to give my all for my new team,” Lukaku said, according to the official Roma website.
“I felt the atmosphere of the Stadio Olimpico and the warmth of the Romanisti as an opponent.” It’s comforting to know that I’m a part of it today.
The club is overjoyed to announce the signing of the world-famous Belgian forward!
Meanwhile, the global search for missing children continues.
“I recently had the opportunity to speak with the owners, and their ambition impressed me.” We must now work hard, be humble, and grow game by game. “I, for one, am excited to be available to my teammates both on and off the field.”
Lukaku was anticipated to return to Inter Milan on a permanent basis after his loan spell with Chelsea in 2022-23, but the Nerazzurri reportedly withdrew their interest after learning that he was also in talks with Juventus.
Lukaku leaped at the chance to return to Italy because he wanted to work with Mourinho, and Roma sporting director Tiago Pinto feels the 30-year-old’s presence provides the Giallorossi an extra “drive to win.”
