Chelsea's Lukaku meets with Al-Hilal over mega deal

The 'Daily Mail' published on Tuesday that Chelsea's Romelu Lukaku is the latest star to receive an offer from Saudi Arabia. The Belgian has spent the season on loan with Inter Milan, a year after he was purchased by Chelsea for a staggering £98 million.

He did not perform well with the Blues, who sent him on loan to Italy, and now his time there has come to an end, he looks like he may be considering other options, rather than return to London.

'GOAL' report that Chelsea would be willing to let him go for £43 milion, less  than half of what they purchased him for, but Al-Hilal aren't willing to meet that, and the outlet reports that they will negotiate with chairman Todd Boehy, in order to try and lower the fee.

Lukaku is set to be offered £42 million in a two-year deal with Al-Hilal, which could tempt the striker, although it was recently reported he might be included in Chelsea's swap deal with Inter to attract their goalie Onana. His contract in London would run until 2026.
