Lukaku has always been better for the Serie A rather than the Premier League. We have proof for that considering his past statistics.

Therefore Chelsea just signed him back for nothing. They were just fascinated with his performance at Inter and forgot about their past with him. It should be due to acting amateurish otherwise there is no way you do this.

Anyway he has returned to Italy but this time to Roma. It is a one-year loan deal though so I can't say good riddance for Chelsea. They will still have 2 more years with him in case he returns.

But let's say Roma didn't want to extend his loan and he didn't get any other reasonable offer in Europe then Chelsea can go for Saudi Arabia option for him.

I don't know why Chelsea insisted a lot to not let Lukaku go temporarily then just accept a deal with Roma although he was linked more with Juventus. It appears they are hopeless to see him go and they do not want to give him free money.
Hugo Lloris should follow but this time as a permanent move to Roma coming from Spurs since they do not want him anymore there.

They knew it would had been tough to get another club that would get and the player might not really want to move to the Saudi league, so they finally decided to bargain with Roma and instead of keeping him in the team for another season and paying him huge wages without a playing time cause Pochettino does not have any plans to use him in his team, I was really surprised that a deal between Juve and Chelsea collapse because they were seriously interested in Lukaku and a deal looked likely but it's a good thing he finally left to a league he's has an experience in and has performed well in, Lukaku would make a fine support to belloti and would make a fine support for belloti and also their frontline looks stronger,if he had remained in Chelsea it would has been bad for his career staying on the bench without playing time.

Chelsea should definitely go for the Saudi option. Because otherwise they will have to keep him around for a long period of time. i am sure that Chelsea does not want to do that. You know if Chelsea can actually sell him to Saudi, they will be able to get a good price for him.

Another thing is I actually don't think at this moment, anyone is going to give a good price for him in the European competition. And no one is definitely going to buy him. Everyone is going to look for loan option because it is not worth buying a player like him right now. The main problem is Chelsea cannot ask for a good price for him as well. If they do, they might actually not be able to sell him at all.
