Chelsea ‘have agreement’ with £325k-a-week star over summer move
Journalist Ben Jacobs claims that Romelu Lukaku will be sold by Chelsea this summer based on a “verbal agreement.”
Since joining Roma, Lukaku has been playing well, as seen by his 18 goals this season across all competitions. But if he can’t agree to a transfer to a new team, he’s expected to return to CHELSEA FC at the end of the season.
Romelu Lukaku will not play for the Blues again, according to the Givemesport website, amid all the rumors and conjecture. Chelsea has decided to let him depart the team.
Now Jacobs has opened up and claimed that CHELSEA have an agreement with Lukaku that he is free to leave the club on a permanent basis at some point during the summer transefer window.
“Chelsea want €45m (£38m) for Romelu Lukaku,” he told GIVEMESPORT . “Their position hasn’t changed since last summer.
“Al-Hilal had a bid for this amount accepted, but Lukaku wanted to stay in Italy. There is no formal release clause, but there is a verbal agreement between Chelsea and Lukaku that he will be sold if someone tables a bid for this amount.
“There remains interest from Saudi, but not from Al-Hilal anymore. The Napoli links could gather pace since their new sporting director Giovanni Manna was the driving force behind Lukaku’s proposed move to Juventus last summer.”
