Chelsea has confirmed that Romelu Lukaku, a talented player valued at £38 million, will be departing the club. According to Fabrizio Romano, a reputable transfer expert, Chelsea is open to selling Lukaku to any interested club, including Roma, where he is currently on loan. The Belgian striker has rediscovered his form in Italy, impressing in the Europa League.
Romano revealed on Twitter that Chelsea is willing to sell Lukaku for the agreed-upon exit clause, which is part of a secret deal with his agents. This clause is open to all clubs, not just Roma. Chelsea is actively seeking a new striker, and despite earlier hints from Mauricio Pochettino that Lukaku might be reconsidered, the club has already begun exploring alternative options.
Reports suggest that Chelsea has initiated discussions for a potential deal with Victor Osimhen, even offering Lukaku in exchange. While some fans may question the necessity of signing a new striker given Nicolas Jackson’s impressive debut season in England, the club appears committed to strengthening its attacking lineup. Lukaku’s departure seems imminent, and Chelsea is eager to secure a suitable replacement.
