Lukaku Chelsea Transfer saga may be heading for another dramatic turn after reports emerged that his potential permanent move to Roma hangs in the balance following Jose Mourinho's sacking. Just when it seemed the Blues could finally put this transfer nightmare behind them, the Special One's departure throws this £37 million deal into the air.

Is Lukaku Chelsea Transfer in Limbo?

Lukaku's return to Stamford Bridge last summer proved disastrous, with the Belgian striker struggling to adapt and falling out of favor. His loan to Roma under his former mentor Mourinho appeared to be a potential solution, offering a familiar environment for Lukaku and a proven goalscorer for Roma. Mourinho reportedly saw Lukaku as the cornerstone of his Roma attack, even pushing for a permanent transfer as early as December.

However, Mourinho's abrupt exit from the Stadio Olimpico has cast a long shadow over the Lukaku Chelsea Transfer. The Sun claims the initial agreement included a £37 million buy-off clause for Roma to finalize the transfer, but with Mourinho gone, uncertainty surrounds whether new manager Daniele De Rossi shares the same enthusiasm for the Belgian. De Rossi, a club legend with a different tactical approach, may not view Lukaku as the perfect fit for his Roma rebuild. This could leave Chelsea stuck with an unwanted asset and the transfer fee looming large over their heads.

Will the FFP  Rethink the Transfer?

Adding to the complication is Chelsea's Financial Fair Play (FFP) predicament. Completing the transfer and selling him on is crucial for them to balance the books and free up funds for potential summer acquisitions. Without this income, their transfer plans could be severely hampered, putting pressure on players like Tammy Abraham and Kai Havertz to deliver in Lukaku's absence.

The coming weeks will be pivotal in determining the fate of the Lukaku Chelsea Transfer. Will De Rossi integrate him into his Roma project, or will Chelsea be forced to take him back and find another buyer for the transfer? One thing is certain: The Lukaku Chelsea Transfer saga, far from over, just added another unpredictable chapter with Mourinho's sacking.
