Chelsea misfit Romelu Lukaku has announced his next club after struggling to find a team.<\/p>\n

The striker has endured a turbulent few years, first being sold to former club Chelsea by a cash-strapped Inter Milan before returning last season for an underwhelming second spell at the San Siro.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old\u2019s summer has been even more chaotic. Lukaku, who has been training with the Blues\u2019 U21s since returning from his Inter loan, was keen to leave Stamford Bridge permanently but a preferred move to Juventus failed to materialise. <\/p>\n

It appears that Chelsea have now finally found a destination for the wantaway Belgian, with the forward reportedly set for a return to Serie A with his former boss Jose Mourinho at Roma.<\/p>\n

It is understood that the two clubs completed the first round of talks on Saturday, with Roma submitting a loan bid with a fee. The final details involving the player\u2019s salary still needed to be discussed ahead of Sunday, with Lukaku being required to take a drastic pay-cut to complete the move.<\/p>\n

Chelsea reportedly want Lukaku to reduce his salary for the remainder of his contract until 2026 due to Roma only being prepared to pay \u00a37million of his gargantuan \u00a3325,000-per-week wages.<\/p>\n

Yet Lukaku appeared convinced that a resolution would be met, telling reporters at a Belgian youth tournament on Saturday: \u201cI am nervous. Tomorrow I will fly to Rome to sign.\u201d<\/p>\n

He will play under Mourinho for a third time in his career, having first burst onto the scene under the Portuguese manager at Chelsea and later been signed by Manchester United.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It comes after his dream move to Italian giants Juventus fell through due to the Turin-based club failing to meet Chelsea\u2019s demands. The Londoners refused to pay \u00a340million alongside Lukaku in a player-plus-cash deal for Dusan Vlahovic.<\/p>\n

Lukaku also had the chance to earn eye-watering wages with Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal, but opted not to follow some of his former Chelsea team-mates in heading to the Middle-East.<\/p>\n
