AS Roma has confirmed the loan signing of Belgian forward Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea. Lukaku, 30, has joined the Giallorossi on a temporary basis until 30 June 2024.

"The welcome I've received from this club and its fans has excited me and given me even more motivation to give my all for my new team. As an opponent, I felt the atmosphere of the Stadio Olimpico, and felt the warmth of the Romanisti," said Lukaku for the first time as a Roma player.

"It's nice to know I'm a part of it today. I recently got the opportunity to speak with the owners, and I was impressed by their ambition. Now we must work, be humble, and grow game by game. For my part, I can't wait to be available to my teammates both on and off the pitch.”
