Lukaku in Saudi Arabia as Al Hilal offers him a mouth-watering contract

Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku is set to be offered a two-year deal worth £ 43 million from Saudi Arabian giants Al-Hilal during the current summer Mercato, according to reports. Chelsea striker, who spent the 2022-23 season on loan at Inter, visited Saudi Arabia on Monday to meet with Al-Hilal officials, GOAL has learned. The Saudi club has offered Lukaku a two-season contract worth a grand total of €50 million (£43m/$54m). 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. Lukaku is due to return to Chelsea now that his loan deal with Inter has expired. It has been reported that the Italian giants do not have the necessary funds to sign him outright, and new Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino is said to be ready to give the striker another chance at Stamford Bridge. However, GOAL can confirm that Lukaku is very much open to a switch to Al-Hilal. The Belgian striker will return this summer to Chelsea after the end of his loan at Inter Milan
