According to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbNTKIITYv4" target="_blank">Sacha Tavolieri in a YouTube update</a>, the Blues are making concerted efforts to maximise revenue from player sales this summer to comply with the Premier League's Profit &amp; Sustainability Regulations (PSR). Hence, Chelsea want to alleviate the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/video-romelu-lukaku-sends-strong-message-chelsea-awkward-interview-starring-in-belgium-s-friendly-england/bltcde0c80527ba0edf" target="_blank">burden of Lukaku's wages and secure a transfer fee</a> with the aim of meeting their financial objectives.

WHAT HAPPENED?

While the club seeks €60 million for the Belgian forward, they acknowledge the possibility of getting around €40 million (£35m/$43m). It is alleged that they need to raise €43m (£37m/$46m) to save them from marking Lukaku as a financial loss after they paid £97.5m ($135m) in 2021.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

In contrast, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/chelsea-blues-romelu-lukaku-saudi-arabian-clubs-roma-loan-ends/bltbc140ac17a9aa0ab#cs06c46ee22dace0c2" target="_blank">AS Roma's interest in Lukaku hinges on their qualification for the UEFA Champions League </a>next season. Lukaku's current form, which has seen him score 18 goals in 38 appearances, has led Roma to believe in the striker's abilities but will only fork out the €43 million (£37m/$46m) amount if they secure a top-four finish in Serie A this season. Additionally, the potential return of Tammy Abraham to full fitness has diminished Roma's pursuit of Lukaku.

DID YOU KNOW?

Lukaku is allegedly yet to take a final call on his future club. However, it is becoming increasingly certain that he will not be back at Stamford Bridge after a couple of disastrous spells which saw him score just 15 times in 59 appearances for the Blues.
