The centre-forward arrives after being rejected by two Giallorossi rivals in Italy
On Thursday morning (31), Roma announced the arrival of 30-year-old Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku. The striker arrives as reinforcement for the offensive sector of José Mourinho’s team, on loan from Chelsea until June 2024. There is no purchase option in the bond, only a mandatory clause for returning to London.
– The welcome I received from this club and the fans lifted my spirits and gave me even more motivation to give my all for the new club. As an opponent I felt the atmosphere of the Olimpico and the warmth of the Roma fans. It’s nice to know that I’m part of it now. I am impressed by the ambition of the club and now we will work, growing match by match. For my part, I can’t wait to be available to my team-mates on and off the pitch,” said the player.
Last season, the Blues’ management had also agreed to loan Lukaku to Italian football, to Inter: in the Nerazzurri, the Belgian had had a good season, but went away as a bad guy after wasting a clear chance in the final of Champions League, bitter runner-up. to Manchester City.

After the end of 2022-23, a great controversy erupted for Romelu. After he swore love to Inter and said he would like to stay at Milan, it turned out that his agents were negotiating with Juventus, which made the athlete uncomfortable with both fans. The result was the cancellation of negotiations with the clubs and protests from both fans. It is worth remembering that, during last season, some Juventus fans committed acts of racism against the attacker during the semi-final of the Italian Cup.
In the end, a third rival in the village of Vecchia Bota got the upper hand. In Rome Lukaku will wear the number 90 shirt and will return to work with José Mourinho. Previously, the Belgian was commanded by Special One at Chelsea and Manchester United, but together the pair did not win any titles.
