AS Roma ready to cover Romelu Lukaku's full wages if he joins on loan: Reports

Romelu Lukaku has offered himself to AS Roma
Romelu Lukaku has been a troublesome player for Chelsea this summer, despite their best efforts. But now he himself forcing a move to Roma who are ready to pay Lukaku’s full wages.
Romelu Lukaku damaged relationships at Chelsea, and Inter Milan, and even Juventus supporters are opposed to him. The only area where he currently appears to be welcomed with open arms is Saudi Arabia clubs. What does that say regarding the person, you would wonder?
Chelsea are therefore stuck with him and have failed to find a club for him. When he joined the club in 2021 in a record-breaking transfer following a prolific season with Inter it appeared the Blues have found a capable striker who could address their goal-scoring issues.
But two months into the club the Belgian forward dropped a bomb, as he said he wants to return to Inter Milan in an interview.

Now according to the report this morning, there may be hope for Chelsea’s Lukaku issue as one club is reportedly getting ready to offer a highly lucrative loan deal, which seems far too good to be true in my opinion.
Roma appears to be willing to consider acquiring Romelu Lukaku on a loan for the duration of the season plus a commitment to purchase him; they would be responsible for paying 100% of his wages, claims Gianluca Di Marzio of Sky Italy, as reported by Transfer Zone.
Juventus and Inter Milan have expressed interest in the 30-year-old, but no agreement has been reached as of yet.
Lukaku had earlier a stint at the club as a regular player. He played the previous season on loan at Inter Milan, where he scored 14 goals in 37 games.
After hearing that Lukaku would join them, angry Juventus supporters stormed the field during a practice game.
Lukaku would certainly be ready for a comeback with Jose Mourinho, who he had played for at Manchester United if he were to sign with Roma. Additionally, they spent some time together at Chelsea.
Chelsea reportedly wants roughly £40 million for Lukaku and earlier this summer turned down an offer of £ 26 million from Inter Milan.
It’s said that Juventus are still interested in signing Lukaku, but it’s unclear what Lukaku’s future holds.
