In a surprising turn of events, Chelsea Football Club is reportedly willing to offload star striker Romelu Lukaku for a fee of £38 million during the upcoming summer transfer window. This decision comes amidst a gentlemen's agreement between the club and Lukaku's representatives, confirming the agreed-upon fee for his departure.
Although not an official release clause, this agreement effectively allows any interested club to bid for Lukaku's services, as Chelsea is poised to accept any proposal meeting the £38 million valuation.
Interestingly, Lukaku, who spent the current season on loan at AS Roma, proved his worth by netting an impressive 20 goals across all competitions under the management of José Mourinho and club legend De Rossi.
With this revelation, the Belgian striker's future at Chelsea appears uncertain, signaling a potential end to his tenure at Stamford Bridge as he seeks opportunities elsewhere in European football. As the summer transfer window approaches, speculation is sure to mount regarding Lukaku's next destination and the potential suitors vying for his signature.
