Roma could splash the cash for Lukaku

Chelsea's Romelu Lukaku is poised for a potential transfer to Roma in the upcoming summer transfer window, according to Calciomercato.

Lukaku, 30, arrived at Chelsea from Inter Milan in 2021 for €115 million but was subsequently loaned out after one season. During his loan spell at Roma, he has showcased his prowess with 18 goals in 35 appearances this season.

Despite his contract with Chelsea running until 2026, Lukaku appears to have no future at Stamford Bridge, opening the door for a transfer. Roma reportedly holds a €44 million option to secure Lukaku's services permanently, but they aim to negotiate a reduced fee of around €35 million. Additionally, Lukaku's wages could pose a challenge for the Italian club.

The qualification of Roma for the Champions League next season, with the team currently sitting in 5th place, just four points off the top four, is likely to play a crucial role in determining whether the deal will materialize or not.

Reports from Sky Sports News indicate that Edwards will assume a prominent role within Fenway Sports Group, overseeing football operations at the Premier League club while also handling other external duties. Although there are some final details to iron out, a deal is expected to be concluded in the forthcoming days.

Initially hesitant, Edwards turned down an offer from Liverpool's owners to oversee the transition post-Jurgen Klopp. However, face-to-face discussions with FSG in Boston have paved the way for his return. The proposed role for Edwards is broader than initially envisioned, offering more significant responsibilities compared to other opportunities he declined previously.
