30-year-old Chelsea player has decided where he wants to play next season

Talks between Roma and Chelsea may start soon, since Romelu Lukaku is said to wish to stay at the Italian club beyond this season.

The transfer amount needed to sign Lukaku permanently may be the topic of conversation between Chelsea and Roma, according to Fichajes.

The Italians will look for a lower price point that fits their budget, and the Belgian wants to remain in Rome. The Blues are ready to get rid of their expensive investment, that did not work out for the club.

The Lukaku drama between Inter Milan and Juventus last year was fortunately advantageous to AS Roma. After intense competition between the two teams for the striker, Jose Mourinho persuaded the team to sign the 30-year-old Chelsea star on a loan basis.

Lukaku, who has scored 17 goals in all competitions, has been Roma’s main striker this season, so the transfer has paid well.

The Belgian wants to stay with Roma into the summer, but he is expected to return to Chelsea after the season.
