Lukaku Meets With Al-Hilal Chiefs As Saudi Giants Offer £21MILLION Per Year

Romelu Lukaku is set to be offered a two-year deal worth £43million from Saudi Arabian giants Al-Hilal this summer, according to reports.

If accepted, the move would see Lukaku become the latest high-profile star to join the Saudi Pro League since legendary forward Cristiano Ronaldo, who teamed up with Al-Nassr following his acrimonious exit from Manchester United last December.

The Belgian’s loan spell at Champions League runners-up Inter Milan will draw to a close this summer, with Lukaku set to reunite with Chelsea under new head coach Mauricio Pochettino.

The forward left Stamford Bridge under turbulent circumstances last summer, after telling Italian reports that he wished to leave no more than six months on from his £98m move to west London in August 2021.

Lukaku reportedly met with Al-Hilal officials to discuss the deal in Saudi Arabia on Monday, although it is believed he will only turn his back on European football for a more lucrative offer.

According to GOAL, Chelsea are willing to part ways with Lukaku but will demand a transfer fee in excess of £43m, under half of that which they paid two seasons ago.
