Chelsea has officially confirmed that a £38 million valued player will be departing the club, sparking concern among fans who are hoping the player won’t be sold again.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea is not being selective about the destination of their players this summer.
The Blues recognize the need to offload players before making new signings in what is expected to be a bustling transfer window.
Several key first-team players are reportedly on the list of potential departures, with ongoing speculation surrounding Conor Gallagher’s future.
Gallagher, who has served as captain on numerous occasions, has been a pivotal figure under manager Mauricio Pochettino, featuring prominently in nearly every game this season.
However, sources close to The Chelsea Chronicle have indicated that he currently has little control over his situation at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea has set an asking price of £38 million for Lukaku, who is currently on loan at Roma.
Despite enjoying a resurgence in form during his time in Italy, there are suggestions that the Belgian striker could be moving on to another club.
Romano revealed on Twitter that Chelsea is actively seeking potential suitors for Lukaku, including the team he is currently loaned to, AS Roma.
The club’s pursuit of a new striker has also been highlighted, with Pochettino previously hinting at the possibility of considering Lukaku’s return once his loan spell ends.
However, recent indications suggest that Chelsea has already begun exploring alternative options in the transfer market.
Reports from last week suggested that Chelsea had initiated discussions regarding a potential deal for Victor Osimhen, with the possibility of including Lukaku as part of the negotiations.
Additionally, the impressive debut season of Nicolas Jackson has led some Chelsea supporters to question the urgency of making new signings.
