It seems that Romelu Lukaku's time at Chelsea may be coming to an end, as new head coach Mauricio Pochettino has made it clear that the 30-year-old has no future at the club. The Belgian striker has been on loan at Roma this season after the Blues were unable to find a permanent buyer for him.
However, there may be a glimmer of hope for Chelsea as Lukaku has had a change of heart regarding a potential move to the Saudi Pro League. The team is eager to offload the "flop" and his high wages have limited their options, but a transfer to the wealthy clubs in the Middle East could be a viable option.
Lukaku had previously rejected a move to Al-Hilal in the summer, but he now sees the potential for the Saudi Pro League to become one of the best in the world within the next two years. In an interview with HLN, he stated that the league is making significant efforts to attract top players and improve the overall quality of football.
Currently on a season-long loan at Roma, Lukaku has been in impressive form with 15 goals in 26 games. When asked if he could see himself playing in the Saudi Pro League, he responded with a resounding "absolutely." This could be a lifeline for Chelsea as they look to offload the striker, who is under contract until 2026.
This is not the first time Lukaku has been loaned out by Chelsea, as he spent last season at Inter Milan. He rejoined the Blues in 2021, but it seems that his time at the club may be coming to a permanent end. Only time will tell if a move to the Saudi Pro League is on the horizon for Lukaku, but for now, he remains a key player for Roma.
