Chelsea have already set their price for Romelu Lukaku ahead of the 2024 summer transfer window.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea have agreed to sell Romelu Lukaku for around £37m next year.

The striker is currently on loan at AS Roma, but the option to sign him for £37m is not exclusive to the Italian club.

However, if Lukaku keeps playing the way he has been since his arrival at the Stadio Olimpico, then Roma will have no choice but to buy him.

The Belgian has been excellent for Jose Mourinho’s side, scoring five goals in six Serie A appearances this season.

£37m for Romelu Lukaku could be a bargain

In a market where it is costing clubs over £100m to sign a midfielder, landing Lukaku for £37m could be a really good bit of business for Roma or whoever ends up with his signature.

Of course, at 30, the Belgium international is not getting any younger. However, he is still one of the best goalscorers in the game and has shown as much this season.

Lukaku, who was hailed as a “world-class striker” by his former manager Thomas Tuchel, has obviously not been a success at Chelsea.

But he is anything but a bad player and the Blues’ loss could be another’s gain.

It is a shame that things never worked out for Lukaku at Stamford Bridge. As a team who have struggled to score goals recently, the former Inter Milan star is the kind of player that they need.
