Chelsea will allow Lukaku to go out on loan – interested clubs revealed (reliability: 5 stars)

Chelsea have decided they will allow Romelu Lukaku leave the club on loan, as per David Ornstein.

The club were previously only interested in a full sale but will now entertain offers for a loan with an obligation to buy or a straight loan if the fee is adequate.

"Juventus, Roma and teams in the Saudi Pro League have enquired, with the latter more focused on a purchase," reports The Athletic journalist.

"Chelsea and head coach Mauricio Pochettino are said to respect Lukaku and have a good relationship with the Belgium international, but all sides accept that a departure — rather than reintegration — is the best way forward."
