Romelu Lukaku is having a very good season at AS Roma. He is still among the best strikers in Serie A. However, the future of the attacker is uncertain. In One by one they came up with a very strange line of thinking.
Gilles Mbiye-Beya opened: “I have a question. Suppose Anderlecht became champions and played the Champions League, would Romelu Lukaku come back? I know him well, that’s right. But he won’t tell me that.”
Evert Winkelmans would love it. “It would be great if he came while he is still really good. It would be brilliant for Belgian football and it would be a momentum to reach the stars again.”
Mbiye-Beya also thinks it is still too early. “It may still be a year too early, but what if Anderlecht becomes champion? Closer to home, the club where he grew up, …”
Too expensive
However, a transfer for Lukaku is completely unfeasible. Big Rom earns 7.5 million euros annually at AS Roma and top earners at RSCA amount to 3 million euros gross. Then Lukaku has also given up a lot of his wages of 12 million euros from Chelsea… Moreover, The Blues want to capture 40 million euros, or slightly less, in terms of transfer price.
So you read it: completely unfeasible. Moreover, Lukaku will only turn 31 in May. It will certainly take another season or so before fans can really dream of a return of Lukaku, who has always indicated that he wants to end his career with the Purple & White.
