AS Roma showed interest in the Belgian international but balked at Chelsea’s hefty £40 million asking price.

Chelsea are still facing a big problem in the form of Romelu Lukaku ahead of the summer. It was baffling that a club of their status could not sell a problematic forward on whom they had previously invested a then-club record sum.

Lukaku got his way and returned to Italy, although Chelsea were hoping to sell him to Saudi Arabia then.

Al Hilal have already made a big offer for the Belgian, although the striker has yet to decide on his immediate future and may sit tight until the summer window opens.

Chelsea reportedly demanded around €43 million for the unwanted 30-year-old attacker, something the Saudi sides might come to pay.
