La Gazzetta dello Sport report that Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku wants to extend his stay with Roma beyond this season. The Belgian international is on loan with the Giallorossi, and is expected to return to the Premier League in the summer.
La Gazzetta dello Sport suggests that Lukaku harbours hopes of a continued association with the Italian club. It’s reported that Lukaku is happy in his experiences with Roma and is prepared to explore all avenues to secure an extended stay, possibly even negotiating with Chelsea.
However, Roma’s ability to retain Lukaku may hinge on their capacity to propose another loan arrangement for the Belgian striker. Financial Fair Play (FFP) constraints may limit Roma’s ability to meet Chelsea’s original valuation of Lukaku, prompting them to consider alternative arrangements.
Moreover, the challenge of securing Lukaku’s services for another loan term is compounded by financial considerations. Lukaku’s salary would not fall under the provisions of the Italian Growth Decree in the upcoming season, adding complexity to negotiations for a renewed loan deal.
