The conditions under which Chelsea are ready to give Romelu Lukaku on loan have been named.
According to The Telegraph’s Matt Lowe, representatives of Chelsea and Roma are meeting this morning to discuss a possible move for Romelu.
As a rental fee, Londoners want to get 8-10 million pounds. Lukaku for the sake of the transition will have to reduce his salary to about 7 million pounds a year so that Roma can fully take it on themselves. Chelsea are not going to pay the striker, who is currently in Belgium.
Earlier it was reported that Lukaku earns about 10 million pounds a year at Chelsea.

On Wednesday night Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel refused to comment on their interest in Lukaku – but admitted he is looking for a striker with the attributes the Belgian frontman possesses.
Asked if he wants to sign the 28 year-old, Tuchel said following Chelsea’s pre-season 2-2 draw with Tottenham: ‘I will not talk about players who don’t play in my squad.
‘He is a fantastic player but a player from Inter and with all due respect I will not talk about him.
‘Everybody wants to come [to Chelsea], hopefully. Well, not everybody unfortunately, but you can imagine a lot of players want to come and join but like I said, we don’t comment on that.’
When expanding on the type of striker he is looking for to bolster his squad, Tuchel said: ‘I think with the exit from Olivier Giroud, we could use a player used to playing with their back to goals, whose strength is to keep possession from long balls so we can add this direct style of play to our portfolio and this is the characteristic of player that is not Tammy, Tino or Kai.
