It looks like Chelsea could offload another one of their players to Saudi Arabia next year. During the summer,
Chelsea sold Kalidou Koulibaly and Edouard Mendy to Al-Hilal and Al-Ahli respectively, while N’Golo Kante joined Al-Ittihad.
And now, according to journalist Fabio Santini, who has been speaking to TV Play,
Romelu Lukaku could be the next Chelsea player to move to the Saudi Pro League.
The 30-year-old is currently on loan at AS Roma and TEAMtalk reported last month that the Italian club could sign him permanently in a potential £35m deal. However, things now look to have got complicated for them.
Chelsea player Romelu Lukaku agrees to Saudi Arabia move
Santini has told TV Play that Lukaku has already said yes to a huge offer from Saudi Arabia.
Discussing the Belgian’s future, he said: “Lukaku? It’s difficult to see a return with Juventus because he has already said yes to a million-dollar proposal from Saudi Arabia. To Roma fans, I say that at the end of the year one thing is certain: Romelu will leave.”
Romelu Lukaku fans thinks that he should stay in Europe and compete for trophies and bring backs his reputation
It is way too soon for Lukaku to be moving to the Saudi Pro League. He is one of the best goalscorers in Europe and is continuing to prove that this season.
In 18 appearances for Roma, the Belgium international has netted 11 times. He is well on course to reaching the 20-goal mark.
It is the kind of firepower Mauricio Pochettino could do with right now as his Chelsea side continue to struggle, but the club have no option to recall him,
While everyone could see that Lukaku was never happy at Stamford Bridge.
The former Inter Milan and Manchester United striker is probably going to leave Chelsea in the summer for good, then, with Saudi Arabia a possible destination it seems.
