Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku is set to reunite with Jose Mourinho at Roma and will undergo a medical this evening, according to Evening Standard.

The 30 year old striker is expected in Italy today after Chelsea and Roma agreed a deal in principle for a season-long loan.

Chelsea will receive a reduced £5million loan fee but will shift Lukaku’s full £325,000-a-week wages off the books, making a saving of nearly £16m over the season.

Lukaku have agreed to take a huge pay cut to facilitate the move to Roma, and the new wages will continue into the last two years of his contract at Chelsea should he remain at the club.

Chelsea have also inserted a £37m release clause into Lukaku’s contract in a bid to permanently part ways with the striker.
